Notify me of a security breech with my Apple devices

I received a call from ****-2209. The purpose of the call was to notify me of a security breech with my Apple devices. I believe this was a fraudulent call.


Please verify that my Apple devices security has not been breached per the phone call communication I received.

All calls like the one you received are scams/phishing attempts. They are made by criminals that prey on the unwary. Apple never would make a call like this. Apple only calls if a user if the user has arranged the call. 

 

And, there are things you can do to lessen the annoyance of such calls. For example, I hardly answer my land or iPhone any more. I only answer if caller ID or my contact list shows that I probably know the caller. Also, I figure that anyone that know me will leave a message if they have anything important to say and I don't answer.
