iCloud account

hi there,


I have received 4 calls in the last 20 minutes from San Jose, CA. They left 2 voicemails stating there has been suspicious activity on my iCloud account and to press a number to continue. I am assuming this is a phishing attempt for information so I did not press anything. I just wanted to make sure that is the case??


thanks

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.
