I received a call stating my icloud account is being used simultaneously in 3 states. Claimed the person(s) are on my home network and can see everything we are doing - purchases, credit cards, etc. The number was a local number. Is this a hoax??

It is indeed a hoax.
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.
