iCloud support recorded call

Received a recorded call from 1-800-734-5**3 saying my iCloud account is compromised. I did not follow through. Is this fake?

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.
