Suspicious iCloud activity scam calls?

In the last ten minutes I have gotten 3 calls from numbers in CA, NY, & OR saying I have suspicious activity on my iCloud account and asking me to press 1 to be connected to an apple support advisor. I am assuming these are scam calls but how can I get them to stop? They just keep calling.

They are scam calls. See: Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


I don't know of a way to make scammers or telemarketers stop trying but the option in Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers has been completely effective for me. See: Detect and block spam phone calls - Apple Support
