Why is apple support calling me?

I have gotten 10 calls today from an automated system claiming to be apple support saying there is suspicious activity on my iCloud account. Is this spam or real

It is spam.


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.
