fake phone calls from apple icloud

I've been receiving numerous phone calls today saying that my ICloud Apple account has been breached; I just hang up. What's going on? The phone number that the call is coming from is 800-538-9696.

iPhone 6, iOS 12

The callers are criminals trying to steal your personal and financial information. Hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
