Suspicious calls

I’m getting several calls saying my iCloud account is being essentially hacked. Are these call bogus? Anyone else getting these calls constantly?

What to Do:

This phone call you speak of is no more than a scam. So, Report this to Apple...


Report this to Apple:

Take a screenshot of that phone number and send it off to Apple.

If you still feel uncomfortable about it, I would suggest changing your Apple ID password.

Good point, but not really necessary. I would strongly suggest, however, adding 2 factor authentication to your Apple ID.


See—>Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support and after you do, be sure to add other trusted numbers in case you lose your phone.
