iCloud being hacked
I keep getting a lot of suspicious call from multiple local numbers that say my iCloud has been hacked then provides me a call back number to get ahold of them. How can I determine if this is true. The calls seem suspicious.

You are wise to be suspicious.
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.
