Suspicious call

Just received. Call from a local number stating there is suspicious activity on my Apple account. Does Apple call from a local number?

iPhone 6s, iOS 13

You are wise to be suspicious.


Apple does not make such calls.

All such calls are scams from criminals attempting to steal your personal and financial information. The callers will often use number spoofing to pretend they are calling from a legitimate business. The correct course of action is to hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
