Phone Calls from Apple

Has anyone else been getting recorded phone calls from Apple indicating problems with account or with icloud and to call them.? Usually says there has been a breach. The 800 number has been 855-698--**** or 855-698-****.

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.
