The call is a scam. Apple will never call you unless you called them and asked for a call back.


You might want to consider changing your password and making sure it is a strong one. You can also add 2 Factor Authentication to your account for more security. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.

What I Use:

To block it all out at best, I use the Premium Edition of Malwarebytes for iPhone. Works just fine where I am.
