Apple does not make such calls.
The callers are criminals trying to steal your personal and financial information. They use number spoofing to pretend to be calling from a legitimate number.

That’s what I thought, thanks!
Is there anything I need to do to my phone/iCloud/laptop to make sure they didn’t get in there?
You’re welcome.
No further steps are required, as the calls are complete nonsense. Simply hang up on them.
