I believe my account has been hacked what do I do?

I believe my account has been hacked what do I do? I talk to someone who I thought was Apple support and they said he saw problems with my account. To fix the problem they wanted me to go and purchase a Google play card to block these intrusions and they said that the card would be reimbursed so I bought two $200 Google play card. And now they want me to go buy a third card which I told him no.Can you help me?

iPhone 8, iOS 13

Morris,

That does not sound like your Apple account was hacked. It sounds like you were the victim of a telephone scam. Apple would never call someone and tell them to buy a Google Play card.
