There appears to be a pretty elaborate phishing scam happening. I received 12 voicemails yesterday and more this morning from a robot claiming to be from Apple support, saying my iCloud account was breached. Has anyone else been getting these?
iPhone SE, iOS 13
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.

Yes, unfortunately, you are not alone. I get them, my wife gets them, and other users here get them. These scammer are quite persistent. Here is a discussion from yesterday at where the user was getting multiple scam calls.
Calls and messages from Apple support
My sole telephone is my iPhone and I use the silence unknown calls setting. So while I see numbers in my log, they don’t leave a voice message so they then just go to blocked. And AT&T’s free Call Protect app catches some of that sort of crud too.
Thank you Demo. Good to know I’m not the only one. They are INCREDIBLY PERSISTENT. It’s continuing this morning; I’m just going to unplug my phone.
Really helpful, thank you
