Automated call, pertaining my I-Cloud account security

I just received an automated call, indicating it was Apple and that I had security risks to my I-Cloud account. I just changed phone and have been having a few issues, I just want to make sure if it is Apple I take care of the problem.

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.
