Receiving calls about my iCloud account

I received a call stating my iCloud account may have been compromised. I hung up and did not select options. Is this spam?

Does Apple ever call regarding compromised accounts? 610-584-**** Lansdale, PA

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.
