Scam Calls ?

I’ve recently been getting calls in regards to my Apple ID. That it has been hacked into and I should be aware of my personal information. Does Apple normally call you in regards to situations like this one?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

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.
