Breach of your Apple Account scam calls

[Fla Dem]

In the past week I have received at least 3-4 calls a day from a caller listed as Apple Inc. The message is to call them as they detected a breach in my Apple icloud account and to press 2 to speak to a representative.

It's a scam.

Phone scammers are tricking people with claims of an iCloud hack

If you get a phone call claiming to be from Apple warning of an iCloud breach, beware: It's a trick.

Telephone scammers are cold-calling people, claiming that iCloud, Apple's cloud service, has been hacked, and asking them to give up their accounts details.

They seem to be exploiting the recent headlines about a group of hackers who claim to have access to hundreds of millions of iCloud user accounts. (In short: iCloud wasn't hacked, although bad password practices mean many people's accounts are still vulnerable — but more on that in a moment.)

So aggravating I checked to see if my landline, through xfinity, had call blocking and yippee it does! So hopefully no more calls from Apple Inc, and now I know how to block calls. So thanks to those incessant calls I can now strike back.
