What you got was more than likely a scam. Apple does not send such messages nor do they call. You as a user find out if you are compromised on your own and contact them for support. They will NEVER actively call you and claim there is a security breach. If you feel you have been compromised by spam see the following links: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204145 as well as https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204759
