Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have an iPhone, a MacBook Air and a mini-Mac. I received two robocalls that suggested that a security breach had been detected in an i-cloud account, affecting all Apple devices, that I should contact support. The call offered an opportunity to connect with support directly by pressing one. This sounds bogus. Is it?

Joan,
Apple will never "Cold Call" a customer. Block the number...do not call back it is "bogus."
According to: Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
"Scammers spoof phone numbers and use flattery and threats to pressure you into giving them information, money, and even iTunes gift cards. Always verify the caller's identity before you provide any personal information. If you get an unsolicited call from someone claiming to be from Apple, hang up and contact us directly."
I tried to catch the phone number. Just received the 3rd call. The ID is Apple, Inc. and the caller is *******. Call came to my land line.
<Personal Information Edited by Host>Unfortunately, The calling number is somewhat irrelevant, as scammers can very easily spoof any number they wish.
