Scam? Apple Pay Texts from Phone# 657-***-***1

I'm receiving texts from various phone numbers, the most recent was today from # 657-***-***1 with a message of:


Your Apple profile was used to pay $154.90. To ensure safety, we have put the account at hold. Call Apple Support at 1-864-***-***0 for refund and DND Service.


Are these known scam texts
