I believe I’m receding scam calls saying my ICloud account has been breached and to press 1 to speak to a rep. Am I correct that this is spam?.

I’m receiving telephone call on landline that my iCloud account has been breached. Caller advises that I press 1 to speak to a rep. This is spam, right.

iPhone 12, iOS 14

It is indeed spam.


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.
