I just got this text. I didnt click or call, but checked all my accounts to make sure i was not charged this amount and was not. Is this a scam?An unusual charge of $156.48 in your Apple account via Apple Pay got detected. Call our support team 8**-8**-***9 to cancel, If this is unauthorized.

It's a scam. Just doing a Google search of the phone number tells you it has nothing to do with Apple.
Do not contact them in any way. Delete and ignore.
