Scam

I’ve been receiving calls from someone claiming to be from my iCloud, saying that I have a security breach. How can I tell if this is a scam or not?

The calls are indeed scams.

Apple does not make such calls.

All such calls are scams from criminals attempting to steal your personal and financial information. The callers will often use number spoofing to pretend they are calling from a legitimate business. The correct course of action is to ignore the calls or hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
