Text message scam?

I received this text message. Is this a scam?

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 86689****2  immediately to cancel this charge.

Not from Apple. Apple never send texts like that, EVER. The email address that ends with @gmx.us is a dead giveaway. That is not an Apple email address!
