I just got a telephone call of this number. 253-219-5**0. didn't get to answer it the call moved on and I believe said to push #5 so I did. I foreign speaking said that someone one from Russia and also Nigeria had tried to access my Icloud. What do I need to do. This doesn't sound right.

It’s a scam.


Ignore.


If you have lingering doubts login to https://appleid.apple.com/ and make sure all is as you want it to be.

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.
