That’s a phishing attempt from scammers and its literally been reported 100’s of times if not 1000’s.
Apple would never contact you. Your bank (issuer of card) would contract you. Banks do the exact opposite of the message you received. If they suspect fraud the transaction is stopped immediately. You have to call to verify the transaction, not call to stop the transaction.
“Don't answer suspicious phone calls or messages claiming to be from Apple. Instead, contact Apple directly through our official support channels.”
”To report a suspicious SMS text message that looks like it's supposed to be from Apple, take a screenshot of the message and email the screenshot to reportphishing@apple.com.”
You can report phishing at these links and most importantly your local law enforcement.

Yes, it is a scam. Nothing you need to do other than delete it. You can report it if you wish, but these come from all different phone numbers so blocking is not necessarily effective.
