I Apple paid for someone and I hot this message “ApplePay:For your protection, your $38 payment to +1 (423) 551-***** is refunded. $38 has been returned to your account and will be available in 2-3working days” I think it’s a scam is it

To verify if the message about a refunded payment from Apple Pay is a scam, check your transaction history to confirm if any payment was made to the specified phone number. If there's no record of such a transaction, it's likely a scam. Contact Apple Support to report the suspicious message and get further guidance.
