I received a text from someone claiming to be Apple Support stating that they stopped a suspicious purchase of $143.00 and asked me to call them at 877-xxx-xx23 and failing to do so would lead to auto charges. Anyone else with this kind of text? Seems like a scam.

Of course it is a scam. Do not call or interact with such notices.
If you want to review your Apple purchases:
View your purchase history for the App Store and other Apple media services - Apple Support
Subscriptions and Billing - Official Apple Support
If you see 'apple.com/bill' on your billing statement - Apple Support

It's absolutely a scam.
However, you should still call your bank and double-check. Sometimes they will hack your account and run through a few small charges. Then they call or text you, pretending to be your bank, and ask if those charges are legitimate. The idea is to get more of your information so they can totally empty your account.
Yes, it is a very common scam attempt. Do not interact with the message or the sender.
