I received a text message from a 909 number saying:
"Apple Pay Transation: A purchase of $XXX has been made at the Apple Store. If you didnt authorize this, contact Support at 1(855)xxx-xxxx
Is this a scam? I don't recognize the purchase but I don't want to call the number and get scammed.

Yes it is one of many scams trying to get you to call a number and give them your personal information. Simply never call a number or follow a link and provide personal information. That way you never have to worry about your account being compromised. Just delete any such message/email.
The same as any other commercial email...unsubscribe.
Got a message on my iPhone saying that an Apple Pay transaction of $154.12 at the Apple Store was detected and I should call *****57....is this a scam..?

Just guessing that coming here is very similar to going to Google, only it has the added benefit of being an actual Apple forum. Whadya think Kurt?
I just had the same experience. He was willing to “help
’” me.
I had same text but for different amount, $183.49
