I've received a call on my Apple cell phone telling me that a "breach" has happened to one of my Apple devises

I've received a call on my Apple cell phone from 310 980 **** telling me that a "breach" has happened to one of my Apple devises, they requested I call their toll free number: 315 232 ****.

Is this a scam call or genuine Apple concern? thanks

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.
