Thinking this a scam?

Apple Approval Notice

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. Your Photos, Data, Bank Information and Cards are at risk. If NOT you? talk to an Apple Representative. Failing may lead to auto debit and charge will not be reversed. Call +1 8******3 immediately to cancel this charge.

Yes. That is a scam. Apple would never threaten you with fandom vocabulary. And notice how the “t” in “Talk” is not capitalized(it’s the start of a sentence). So, report this.
