Suspicious activity

I have had two phone calls indicating that there has been suspicious activity on my Apple ID like someone is trying to hack into my account.

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 hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.

What to Do:

These phone calls you speak of are no more than a scam. So, Report them to Apple...


Reporting this to Apple:

Take a screenshot of that phone number and send it off to Apple.
