Just received a text from App_Store about an order with a charge of $502.93 looks like spam?

Just received a text from App_Store about an order with a charge of $502.93 looks like spam? This is totally unknown to me. I looked up the "customer service number to call" and it is from China. 866-515-1705. Has anyone else received this type of text?

Yes it is a scam. Apple will never text you about a purchase. Take a look at this.
