Fraudulent call?

I just called a number that claimed to be Apple support. I am trying to set up a friends iPad and the man said he had to verify my I’d. He asked for my debit card number and had me down load a pay app. I am older and just did what he told me. I think I gave him access to my account. I need to call Apple tech support to find out if it is what they do. Does anyone have. Phone number. I can’t seem to find it.

iPad, iPadOS 13

Yes it was a fraudulent scam call. Apple is not going to have you download any apps to execute a payment. Make sure that you change or cancel any information that you shared with that person such as your Debit Card etc. Cancel that card and get a new one issued. Call you bank and ensure that your accounts are safe and not being siphoned out with that debit card.
