Phishing attempt received via text message.

Received a text message stating: "We noticed that your Apple iCloud id was recently used at "APPLE STORE - CA" for $143.95, paid by Apple Pay Pre Authorization." The message came from: *****@outlook.fr and gave a number +1 855******* to call immediately to cancel charge.

This exact same text has been reported here since September. It’s a phishing attempt. Do not respond and delete text.
