How do I stop the fake calls from Apple support.

For the last 3 hours I have been receiving fake robo calls from supposed Apple Support from the San Jose area. How do I stop them? I cannot even Turn the ringer volume up on my phone.

iPhone 7, iOS 13

Apple doesn't make unsolicited phone calls. If there was a problem you would be notified when attempting to log in, including when logging into this forum. Also see: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


Also, the caller id number shown on scam and marketing calls is frequently not the number actually originating the call. The number is often spoofed. The calls may be coming from anywhere.


One option to consider (one that I use) is Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers. See: Detect and block spam phone calls - Apple Support
