Telephone call

I've received several calls from Apple Inc saying my icloud acct has been compromised. How can I tell if this is legit?

It is not legitimate. Apple does not make such calls.

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