I am getting incessant calls from "Apple support"

Anyone else getting incessant calls from Apple Cloud Support saying their account has been breached? By incessant, I mean at least 15 in the last 24 hours.


They are spoofing the area code and prefix of my cell number, but the last four digits are different each time so blocking the number does not good.


Clearly Android and Verizon's anti spam system isn't working so well.

It is a common scam. Apple doesn't make unsolicited phone calls. If there was a problem you would be notified when attempting to log in, including when logging into this forum. Also see: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


One option to consider is Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers. See: Detect and block spam phone calls - Apple Support
