Calls from 855 area code

I've received at least 10 calls from an unknown number with 855 area code leaving message to call Apple Support at 315-232-8257 because my iCloud account has been compromised. Does anyone know if these calls are legitimate?

They are not legit.

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.
