This number keeps calling me over and over again saying my cloud might been breach and I when it sent me to the support I ask why keep calling me and they hang up. I’m just wondering if it’s true or it’s one of those scammers

Unfortunately, that is a very common scam attempt.


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.
