Repeat calls that my cloud has suspicious activity

I’ve gotten bombarded with four different calls within six hours telling me to talk to Apple support that my cloud has suspicious activity and I feel that it’s a scam so I’m curious if anyone else is getting them

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6

It is indeed a scam, a very common scam.


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.
