Multiple phone calls today
I have had 4 calls to my land line today from 3 different phone numbers with automated messages telling me that my I Cloud has been compromised. I do not believe it is from Apple. Am I correct?

You are correct.
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.

Thank you for your response. It has happened before but not so many times in one day and it is very frustrating. I do not answer, but a message has been left each time. Thanks again.
You’re quite welcome.
There does seem to be an increase in the number of similar posts. I guess the criminals have hired a new bunch of call centre staff.
