Suspicious 'Apple iCloud' text message

I got a text from this number:

83x-xxx-xx47 stating :


We have noticed that your Apple iCloud id was recently used at "APPLE STORE - CA" for $143.95, paid by Apple Pay Pre Authorization. Also some suspicious sign in request and apple pay activation request detected. That looks like suspicious to us. In order to maintain the security and privacy of your account we have placed those request on hold. If NOT you? talk to an Apple Representative. Failing may lead to auto debit and charge will not be reversed. Call +1 83xxxxx47 immediately to cancel this charge.


Billing Department

Have a great day!

From a similar (but older) discussion thread query:

How to report scam email? - Apple Community

Eg: says: "Send the e-mail to Apple as an attachment to a new e-mail before deleting it. You can forward as an attachment by going to Mail/Message/Forward as attachment. Or control - click on the email and select Forward as attachment.

You won’t receive a response.

Edit : oops sorry! Seems it is not in email form although from Outlook. Apologies!
