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.

Reporting such calls would be somewhat pointless, as the criminals making the calls are most likely out of the country, and using fake numbers.
