Those calls are common/prevalent, and are attempts to steal your Apple ID/financial details. Apple will never "cold call" a customer with that, or any other information. You can safely ignore the calls/block the number.

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 ignore the calls or hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
