Icloud security calls

Hi there,


My phone has been ringing off the hook that my icloud security has been compromised. About a call every a minute for the past hour.


Is this legitimate? Or a scam?


Thanks!

iPhone 5, iOS 10

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.
