Is this an Apple Pay scam

Received text from 731-377-**** saying an apple pay transaction of

$157.53 at the apple store was detected and to call 844-569-****. I

don't use apple pay so think this is a scam. I am not going to call the

number, but wondering who or if I should call apple to confirm?

No, banks do not alert you about a purchase.


Banks do exactly the opposite of what the fraudulent text says. Banks stop fraudulent charges and ask if you want the charge to go through. Safety first, stop the transaction.


The text is the opposite. Hey we just put through a charge we suspect is fraudulent, contact us to stop the fraudulent charge.


Do you see the difference?
