Yep, a typical scam message, which we ALL get bombarded with on a daily basis. Knowing it's a scam:

1. NEVER respond to the scammers
2. Block them
3. Delete the message
4. Feel free to report the phishing to Apple, but there is little Apple can do to stop these messages. I used to report them, I now just accept they are the bane of our existence and never respond, block and delete.

Asking Apple Support would be a waste of time. Apple doesn't send these messages and cannot control them. They are delivered via cellular (text messages) or email, none of which are under Apple's control.

This is a fishing, don't trust And go to the apple store and ask apple support.

Please do not call the number. The SMS is a scam.
