Yes -- it is a common phishing scam.

Apple doesn't make unsolicited phone calls. If there was a problem you would be notified when attempting to log in, including when logging into this forum. Also see: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

The following has legitimate phone numbers and other ways to contact Support: Contact - Official Apple Support
