Phone call claimed to be from Apple

I just got a call from someone claiming to be Apple warning me of suspicious activity on my account. Said I should call them back. Is this real or a scam?

From the article below.


If you get a suspicious phone call or voicemail


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.
