Hacked

I got a phone call saying my iphone or ipad have been hacked. I waited on hold to talk to someone and they wanted access to my computer. I said I was at work and could not let that happen and he hung up on me. Is there any way you can check to see if my apple products have been hacked?


iPad mini, iOS 9

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 hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
