Apple won’t call you, unless you have just requested a callback.


If there’s an issue, Apple will lock you out on the Apple servers, and force you to re-authenticate. Or to call Apple.

Displayed calling telephone numbers can be spoofed/faked/forged, just as email sending addresses can be spoofed/faked/forged.


Enable two-factor authentication as that makes it harder to wrest control of your Apple ID, use unique passwords across all of your accounts, and be skeptical of all email and all calls.
