I’ve been called 4 times by they say apple support

They say I have a breach in my apple account. I strongly believe it’s a scam. They are pinging off local numbers in my area. What do I do on next call I’ve been just hanging up on them

Oh yes, it is definitely 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.
