Suspicious phone call claiming to be Apple Support

I received a call/voicemail from ***-***-1815, claiming to be Apple Support. The voicemail stated that there has been a security breach on my iCloud account due to an unauthorized login, not to attempt to access any financial information. Press 1 to speak with Apple Support.

When I called the number back, all I get is a busy signal. Anyone aware of this as a scam?

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.
