Is this text message about an App Store subscription a scam?

Received following text message. Suspect it’s a scam. Can you help me determine if it is?


$95.22 have been charged for a subscription from App Store. If this was not done by you, Contact Apple Support at 18******85 for help.

The wording does seem a little off, and I checked the Apple Support page and no phone number is listed starting with 18 and ending with 85. You can report this to Apple by sending a screenshot to reportphishing@apple.com.
