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.

That is what I did. Did not answer and let it go to voicemail. I will not answer a call from Bangladesh. Don’t know anyone there!
Good news.
Stay alert as the scammers will always find a new way to try and steal our information.
Now I have gotten 3 calls from a local number. Same message that my iCloud account has been hacked
Yes, this is a common scare tactic that the criminals start “spoofing” local phone numbers in the hopes of more victims. Stay vigilant, and don’t be one of their unfortunate victims.
