My Apple ID account is being hacked?

SCAM or real. I receive hundreds of calls and the recording says my account is being hacked and to call a number for support

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.
