I keep getting calls from 1800 numbers saying my Apple security has been breached, is this a scam?

It is indeed 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.
