iTunes/Apple don't send text messages (and if they did they would be grammatical and make sense), you could forward it to Apple :

Phishing and similar emails : Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

Genuine iTunes emails : Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
