I received a call today from 877-387-3**0 noting that my Apple iCloud has been compromised. Has anyone had this happen to them before? I assume this is a fraudulent call.
Any input is appreciated.

It is indeed fraudulent.
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.

Thank you for the quick response. I was in the process of looking up this information on the web and what Apple had to say about these calls. As I was looking up information I received a second call. I hung up. Thanks again. This was very helpful. One of the main reasons I changed over to Apple products is because of their highly reliable security on all products.
You are quite welcome.
Stay alert, as the scammers are forever trying new tactics to steal our personal and financial information.
