Suspicious Phone Call I received a phone call from 800-****-6313 claiming suspicious log ins to my apple icloud and to not make any purchases using my icloud account. The message then said to press 1 for support. I hung up and googled the number with no success. How do i verify that this is NOT an apple call? If it is an apple call, how do i check the security of my icloud account? [Edited by Moderator]

Suspicious phone call Received an automated call today from a local number that stated that my Apple information had been compromised and warned me not to use my Apple device to purchase anything. It then asked me if I wanted to connect to Apple Support to address the issue. It was suspicious especially since it was from a local number and was automated so I disconnected the call. Had any one else had this happen? Is it a type of scam?

If you received the call it is a scam. Apple doesn't imitate calls about suspicious activity.

Unfortunately, with number spoofing, the criminals making such calls can pretend to be calling from any number.
