Is this a legitimate notification from Apple?

I received a text that says see below


I have had suspicious billing but always heard from Goldman Sachs.


What do I Do?



Apple Approval Notice




We have noticed that your Apple iCloud id was recently used at \"APPLE STORE - CA\" for $143.95, paid by Apple Pay Pre Authorization. Also some suspicious sign in request and apple pay activation request detected. That looks like suspicious to us. In order to maintain the security and privacy of your account we have placed those request on hold.  If NOT you? talk to an Apple Representative. Failing may lead to auto debit and charge will not be reversed. Call +1 888***0*** immediately to cancel this charge.

Have a great day!

Yep it is the same scam that has reported here many times with the exact same dollar amount. Nothing more needs to be done other than deleting it and never call any provided number in the message.
