Phishing by phone
I want to know if Apple will ever contact me via phone to say they suspect my iCloud account has been compromised. I have gotten 3 calls on my landline today claiming that but have not answered or responded.

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.Â
