I received the following text message:

Review Required: Apple Pay Setup Attempt

Dear Customer,

We identified activity that requires verification.

• Amount: $143.95

• Location: CA Apple Store

• Action: Apple Pay setup attempt

If this wasn’t you, contact +1 ********6

It just seems rather scamish or phishy to me. Is this legit or is it sinister?

Looks like a scam.

You can verify that amount by checking your bank or credit card, just don't click on any links provided in the text message.
