Getting numerous phone calls on a landline about my cloud being compromised. Is this happening to anyone else? They are saying there is a toll free number starting with 315 which is New York and not toll free. Not answering any of them.
Unfortunately, it 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.

Thank you for confirming my thoughts. After 15 calls I just unplugged the phone. Very annoying that they call so often less and Han 20 minutes apart.
You are welcome.
Yes, they can be quite annoying, but hopefully by ignoring them, they no longer consider you as a potential victim.
Stay alert.
