Apple Pay Text Scam?
I received this text 2 days in a row. I reported junk on the 1st. Assuming that it’s spam, but wondered if anyone else has gotten it:

It shocks me in this day and age how many people simply do not instantly recognize things like this without being pointed to a reference page, such as the link you posted. I mean it's good that there are references like this, but c'mon people, you are probably seeing scams daily and have been for years. At lease RyaliD knew before they posted this.
But just the same, I should probably save the link you posted (Thanks, Jim!). I get tired of people saying "But how did you know that was a scam, phishing, etc.?" and me just replying "Seriously? You don't know this stuff?" then shaking my head in amazement.
It's a scam that has been going around for a while. Delete and block.
Yes, it is a very common scam attempt, received by millions of people.
