I have been getting calls from supposedly apple saying my account has been breached and it is very important that I contact them. In the last month I have gotten over 50 of these calls. They are from different numbers are they for real?

They are not real.


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.
