ApplePay Suspected Fraud

There’s a site on Facebook selling Autel diagnostic tools using the name Costco and when I try to open the site it says it’s a dangerous site. The email address is also not a Costco email and I’m getting this on my emails , The email address you're replying to does not match the original email address from "Costco <noreply@info.shopysmail.com>"

Where at Apple do you send attempted fraud message? I just received a msg from Apple Billing & Security Team claiming that a large transaction was attempted at one of their stores along with their noticing unusual account activity. They gave me a number to call to review and cancel the transaction. They included an Apple Billing Support phone number and a URL for manage billing online. I haven't made such a transaction and wanted to report them. I have not called the number posted nor have I tried the URL. But I could not find on the Apple site where I could report this. And now should I assume I've been hacked and need to change my passwords? I would appreciate any advice as I'm not well versed in these matters. Thank you. zna2212 iMac 2021 M1

Spam warning from getsupport.apple.com "unknown apply pay request" This is fake and a phishing attempt but I noticed when I googled the phone number, google says its a legitimate number with no results, so I'm creating this post so that it shows up when others search this number on google. Just received this text message from "mail@hotmail.com" which Apple would never use, but if the text message pops up on your phone while you're doing something else and you click on it too fast it's not as obvious to see the email at the top. The letters in the phone number don't actually match the numbers either, so that's also a dead giveaway. Unknown Apple Pay Request We have flagged unusual activity linked to your Apple ID (Case ID: 92037******), including a pending $489.95 charge at “APPLE STORE – Orlando, FL” made via Apple Pay Pre-Authorization. We've also noticed repeated unauthorized sign-in attempts and Apple Pay setup requests from unknown sources. As a safety precaution, we’ve temporarily blocked these actions and placed the transaction under review. If you made this request, no action is needed and the transaction will be processed within 24 hours. If you did not make this request, please contact Apple Support immediately at 1-888-***-**** .

What is the link to Apple Pay? If you are looking to dispute the charge, then contact the bank of the card that was used. It is that bank that approved the charge. Apple Pay is not an account and simply provides the merchant a unique code offered by your bank instead of the actual card numbers to complete the transaction that you made.

If Facebook is referring you to a fraudulent seller, then contact Facebook.

If you are in the US and want to report a fraudulent website, then that can be done here:

Nothing you have reported here can be resolved by Apple.
