I just received a test reading "We have detected $137.61 charge in your Apple account via Apple Pay. If this is unauthorized, Call our support team +1(********2 for help." Has anyone else received this message?

It's a very common scam. Apple will never, ever send such messages.


Delete it and ignore it.

  1. That message never mentioned you by name.
  2. That phone number directs you to a scammer who is (most likely) working in an organized scam call center in another country.


That’s all the evidence you need to block, report and delete the message.


If you receive a suspicious email or SMS text message that looks like it's supposed to be from Apple, please email it to reportphishing@apple.com. 
