scam phone calls to my landline

Today, I got six calls from alleged Apple Inc telling me that I have iCloud issues. The caller id shows legit Apple Soho no. 212-226-3126. I can tell that it is a phishing call and they want me to call 855-779-5028 for support, which I ignored. I put in a complaint at FCC and also I am going to put the above no ( though it is a valid Apple Soho store number) on do not call through my provider.

Someone is phishing....

Regards and Thanks,

Indeed, they are always phishing. This is a known scam and unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about it. AFAIK Apple never initiates contact with a customer.
