Scam calls

Hi, I am receiving calls from 800-275-**** saying that my apple id is breached and has logins from Russia, UK and other countries. Person on the phone redirected me to apple.com and then asked me to clear the text on the browser and provided some number. I did hung up the phone thinking that it is a scam.


Is it really a scam? Why did i receive 3 calls stating the same.

You can look up virtually any number and see if it's legitimate. This number points to quite a few web sites noting it's an iCloud scam. Other times, the number you look up doesn't match anything. No business or residence connected to it at all. The latter means it's a number that's currently out of service and they're just spoofing the caller ID with it.
