866-275-3866

I got a call this morning from this number plus a short 1 second voicemail before they hung up. I also got an Apple verification code i DID NOT ask for. Prior to this some of my accounts on insta had gotten hacked which i took down. Please do not give this number any info, CALL Apple directly and ask them about these calls and things happening.

Apple calling with an ID verification code for logging into their website.  I was setting up a new computer.

It is Apple calling with a verification code.  I got 2 texts at the exact same time with verification codes but I didn't request them so I think someone was trying to hack my account. The number is legit but if you didn't request the codes then someone is trying to hack your account.  Don't enter any codes when you get the call.

Apple calling with an ID verification code for iCloud setup.  I was restoring a phone from backup.

I fail to see how an outbound call giving you information (the verification code) can request or try to take information from you.

It seems more likely that someone hacked your devices and was trying to set it up again, and Apple used the number it had on file to call you.  OTOH, there is a well-known exploit in the cellular system to duplicate information sent to a cell phone...to another phone. Perhaps this is what happened.  Hope you resolved it satisfactorily.

I think not. Please beware of this answer and do not provide any information to anyone calling from this number pretending to be associated with apple. Call apple directly from the web site and double check the url to identify it as the legit Apple site

CID says...Apple,INC.  Hung up on answering device.  We dont use apple products.

Spamming

I called Apple after getting these too and they said it’s a scam and to change my password right away

No message

This number called my phone at 3 in the morning! Not very happy about it and they didn't leave a message

Received call on home phone at 2:58 a.m. identifying themselves as Apple, Inc. (866-275-3866) giving an ID code to change password. What kind of business calls in the middle of the night??? A bit foggy - don't remember exactly what they said, but provided ID # several times for changing my password. ???

Blocked em after the number called me twice and after a verification code popped up

Ask for your CC# to identify you? That is ridiculous and clearly a scam.

asking for a Credit card number? That is ridiculous and clearly a scam

Same!! Called my phone at 1am and left no message!!

Spoofers called me repeatedly from the number that identifies at Apple Inc. My phone number never set up an apple account so I knew it was a scammer waking me up at 4:31am and repeatedly calling every few minutes until I blocked the number!

Repeated calls from this number beginning 4:31am with Caller ID stating Apple Inc. No voicemail. I do not have an Apple ID associated with this phone number. Clearly scsmmer.
