I have gotten 30 phone calls from Miami stating my iCloud account had been breached. how do i stop them?!!! every 11 minutes i am getting a call from a different phone number.

Is anyone getting a barrage of phone calls from Apple support?

It is a very common scam attempt.


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.
