I got a phone call saying that my iCloud account has been compromised. Does Apple make such calls?

Have others gotten such calls?

It is a scam and it is fairly common. Apple doesn't make unsolicited phone calls. If there was a problem you would be notified when attempting to log in, including when logging into this forum. Also see: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


One option to consider is Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers. See: Detect and block spam phone calls - Apple Support
