iCloud security breach

I have been receiving phone calls regarding an iCloud security breach and advising that I contact support before using any of my Apple devices. All I need to do is press "1" to be connected. This sounds like a scam to me but have several Apple devices using iCloud. I was wondering if anyone else was receiving these calls.

iMac, iOS 11.4.1

It is a scam.

There have been hundreds of such reports here. The most common report is that “Molly” is calling.
