I have received approximately 15 calls from Olivia saying she was from Apple support. She said my iCloud account looked suspicious & left a phone number to call. Does Apple use this method to contact users?

iPhone 8, iOS 14

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.
