Notification saying "The iTunes Store is unable to to process purchases at this time." but I have not attempted to purchase anything?

This notification has popped up several times in the past hour. I've never bought anything from the iTunes store on this phone, or on any other device. Could this mean someone has my information and is trying to buy something? Or is this just an error/bug?

Sounds like a pop up possibly received from malware.

It is almost certainly a scam. Apple provide guidance in the documents below but the key factors are … A genuine message from Apple will always address you by your name or the name they know you by and that email will always come from an address that ends ‘@apple.com’. It goes without saying that the grammar and spelling is always correct.

Never click on any links in a pop up or an email you suspect.

These are the Apple documents. What to do about phishing. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204759 … which also tells you where to forward the email.
