Suspicious "Apple Security Alert" text reporting my Apple id was used at APPLE Store Message says a suspicious charge for $143.95 has been put on hold and that I need to call an Apple Service rep at an 833 area code number. Failing to call may lead to non-reversible auto debit. I have not purchased any item for this amount. Seems like a scam. Yes or no? If yes, what should I do?

Fake Apple text scam? I received this text on my iPhone and am pretty sure it’s a fake but I want to make sure—- How does Apple contact community members if it suspects any kind of fraud? here is the text Apple Approval Notice We have noticed that your Apple iCloud id was recently used at "APPLE STORE - CA" for $143.95, paid by Apple Pay Pre Authorization. Also some suspicious sign in request and apple pay activation request detected. That looks like suspicious to us. In order to maintain the security and privacy of your account we have placed those request on hold. If NOT you? talk to an Apple Representative. Failing may lead to auto debit and charge will not be reversed. Call +1 877325**** immediately to cancel this charge.
