Just got a message on my wife's iPad Air that says "Apple Security Alert-Error code #0x83d47d" Access to this PC has been blocked for security reasons. Call Apple at 855-477-****.
I can't find this number on the Apple web page. Is this a scam?

Sounds like it
Yes, it's a scam. Apple does not ever call, message, or email such garbage.
That message is designed to make you panic, urging you to call a phone number. This is a scam tactic playing on your fears hoping you’ll call the number. Ignore it.
**** got an apple security popup that says Apple SECURIY
