I got the below text yesterday and would like to know if it is a scam.
A monthly subscription charge of $138.34 was made using Apple Pay at Apple Store. If unrecognized by you, Call +1855-*******support team.

That is a phishing attempt by scammers hoping you’ll provide personal and financial information so they can use your information fraudulently.
Banks prevent charges from going through and you have to call them to OK the transaction. Merchants never hold transactions. Only banks have the right to stop a transaction. Banks do not alert you the way the scammers are attempting to scare you into doing what they want.
Block the sender, report as junk and delete the text or email.

You’re welcome!
Apple emails a receipt and you can look at your subscriptions at this path,
iPhone > Settings > Your Name (at top of screen) > Subscriptions
You can also check your online account for the card allegedly being charged.
Thank you! Where would I go to check in my Apple account?
Got a text about a subscription, is it a scam?
