Charge of $113.87 text message from Apple support.

I just received a text message supposedly from Apple Support saying that I had $113.87 been charged for a sub subscription. I looked in my iCloud email and in my bank account and nothing has been taken out.

I also look at the 718 phone number and 833 number and it’s associated with some German place or something like that in New York.

Normally, I get a text message with an email in it so this is different. I’m hoping that this is a scam. I’m pretty sure it is.

Yes it is a scam! Apple is not sending you SMS messages. All they want you to do is call the number and give them your persona/financial information so they can compromise your accounts.

It is not from Apple Support! It is from a scammer that wants you to give them your account/financial information to compromise your account. I could send you a message that says I am a Saudi Prince that wants to transfer money to your bank account and that does not make it true.
