Security breach
Is there anyone else getting phone calls from apple stating that their iCloud account has been hacked, or is it a scam ?

I think it is a scam. The caller says there has been suspicious activity on the icloud account and there has been a security breach. Asks if you want to connect to support by pressing 1 or repeat the message... also, says you can contact support at the toll-free number **** ... lol, toll-free?
but, it is weird that the calls actually come from numbers that are listed as Apple store locations. I got calls from two different numbers **** and ****, both of which are listed as Apple store numbers in Illinois. Anyway, too fishy for me.

It's a scam.
Apple only make calls when requested by you.
There have been A LOT of posts about this scam. Some people have posted they've been called several times in line day.
Caller ID is very easy to spoof. It is not reliable.
