Big Thanks to the community, I figured as much just wanted to confirm.

I just received the same message with the same amount as well. I figured it was probably a phishing scam, but I'd never received or seen a message like this before. And, yeah, the bad grammar was a tip off also. "That looks like suspicious to us." LOL Glad I checked, though.
The message is a very common scam attempt. Do not interact with the message or the sender.
Same here, same amount
Just received the same message. The grammar errors were the first red flag for me.

I received the same message re: an Apple Store charge! Scam.
Me too! What costs $143.95? I'm dying to know!
Probably a scam.
Apple does not send texts about purchases and if you don't see the charge on your payment method's statement, then it doesn't actually exist.
The provided number is very likely a scam number meant to get you to divulge personal details to the person on the other end.
I just got this text also.
