Is 188856-7179 a legitimate Apple support number? I was told there were charges I didn’t make and to call this number.

no, you can’t trust 188-856-7179 as a legitimate Apple Support number. It’s almost certainly a scam


You should treat that number as untrusted, do not call it back, and do not share any personal or financial information. If you think you may have responded or given data already — check your Apple ID security settings immediately, and follow Apple’s security advice.
