Does Apple ever call you to tell you your iCloud account has been breached?
I keep receiving calls saying my iCloud account has been breached and asking me to call a number before using any Apple device. Is this 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.
