Apple Security Alert

I received a text saying my Apple ID was recently used at Apple Store for a transaction paid by Apple Pay Pre-Authorization. It is asknig me to call 1-828-***-**** for customer support and to maintain security.

Is this accurate? Or fake?

Ask yourself, did you recently purchase something at an Apple Store?


That message is most likely fake. Delete and block the message.
