Scam calls?

Just received a call stating they were from Apple. They said my iCloud account was compromised. Does Apple make calls like this one. I believe it was a scam call

You are correct, it was a scam call.

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 hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
