Every evening I’ve been getting calls stating that my Apple IP address has been compromised and asking that I talk with the Apple security

In the evening I’ve been getting calls that are recorded stating that they are Apple security and that my IP address has been compromised and for me to push button wine or something odd to talk to someone about it. I feel this is a scam but these calls are coming in every 15 minutes even though I block the number the calls come in on a new number. Now it is early afternoon and they’ve already started calling me with these types of messages. How do I stop them. I have an Apple iPhone

iPhone XR, iOS 14

It is a scam. Apple doesn't make unsolicited phone calls. If there was a problem you would be notified when attempting to log in, including when logging into this forum. Also see: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

Also, the caller id number shown on scam and marketing calls is frequently not the number actually originating the call. The number is often spoofed.

One option to consider is Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers. See: Detect and block spam phone calls - Apple Support
