Strange Text to call to report a payment

I just received a text telling me that my apple id was used to and Apple Store in CA - I'm in Arkansas - they said I need to call 1-855-***-7*** immediately to cancel this charge - is this a scam? It also said I could go to Billing Department: https://support.apple.com/billing

That’s a phishing attempt by scammers. Do not interact with the text or email. Do not click any link or phone number from the scammers. Block the sender and delete the message.
