robo calls from Apple support

i have received 6 calls in the last hour from 855 632 and various 4 digit numbers saying there is a problem with my icloud account. Assume this is a scam and apple support would not call me.

It is indeed a scam.


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.
