Apple will never call you unless you called them and asked for a call back.

Phone call stating my iPhone was hacked I received a phone call today from 989-280-**** and it was an automated message stating my iPhone was hacked and not to use my iPhone to do banking. I have no reason to believe I was hacked. Is there a way that you can check? [Edited by Moderator]

Apple phone call I received a phone call that my iCloud account was trying to be hacked or something. Does Apple makes calls of this type ? If so I need a number to recall because I just hung up not sure if the call was legit.
