Apple Wallet email Scam

I received the email below today 1/28/26 at 10:12 L, and am certain it is a scam. I am hoping this post gets to APPLE and that they can follow up. I've checked my Apple Wallet and zip shows up re the supposed charge of $623. I have not clicked on any links or phoned the number provided.

Is this widespread?

Definitely a scam.

It won't reach Apple here, but you can forward it to reportphishing@apple.com to make sure it reaches them.

That’s a phishing attempt from scammers and it’s literally been reported 100’s of times if not 1000’s.

Apple would never contact you. Your bank (issuer of card) would contract you. Banks do the exact opposite of the message you received. If they suspect fraud the transaction is stopped immediately. You have to call to verify the transaction, not call to stop the transaction.

“Don't answer suspicious phone calls or messages claiming to be from Apple. Instead, contact Apple directly through our official support channels.”

”To report a suspicious SMS text message that looks like it's supposed to be from Apple, take a screenshot of the message and email the screenshot to reportphishing@apple.com.”

You can report phishing at these links and most importantly your local law enforcement.

Identify legitimate emails from the App Store or iTunes Store.
