Phone calls saying my Apple account is suspicious

I keep getting call saying not to use my Apple account for payments. I want to know why? And why they are calling my landline phone number?

from ***-***-5668 saying it Apple? I hang up but do they know where I live since they have my landline number? Is my account in danger? Also many of my calls say silenced call , why it never rings is my phone cloned?

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 ignore the calls or hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
