I called the number and could barely understand the person who answered the call. I asked what company I had reached? He stuttered then finally answered Apple. I told him I had misdialed. He raises his voice and says Apple, Apple, Apple

I received a text message stating my Apple id was recently used at "APPLE STORE" for 143.95, paid by Apple Pay Pre Authorization. A phone number of +1 866-487-7578 was listed in the text of the message to call if this was not me. In this day of scams, I sent this email instead. I made no such authorization. I do want to know for which produce this charge was for. Thank you.
