Yes. I've been through it, and it is no more than a Robotic Phishing Scam.

B. Report It - Submit Screenshots:

So, what you should do is take a screenshot of these phone number's information, and then send the screenshots off to Apple. Send it to Apple at reportphishing@apple.com. Include a description of these images, and point out whatever need be. Go Here: Take a Screenshot on your iPhone - Apple Support

C. Security & Privacy is of High-Concern:

Someone is seeking your credentials. So, most certainly consider modifying your credentials, immediately. Pefroming the following is best at this point:

• Modifying: your login credentials (using both a New eMail and a New Password) for Apple and each and all sites
• Associating: a different method of payment to your account
• Enabling: Two-Factor Authentication for Apple ID and for all other accounts that have such an applicable option
• Maybe, Consider Using a New Phone Number
