Apple ID compromised? Getting calls

I keep receiving a call from a 904 area code which then tells me through an automated message that it’s Olivia with Apple letting me know that my Apple account has been compromised. I was transferred to Apple support and talk to a man named Tom who asked if anyone in Russia or Iran would have my information? Which the answer was no. Does this sound legitimate? Or am I being scammed

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.
