Is this an Apple Pay scam?

I just got that one too and stupid me called and followed some directions I might be screwed huh. I removed the app so hopefully they don’t have access anymore

Yes, before the takeover your Apple Account.

Same exact today. Payment of $182.37 is successfully completed from your AppleID towards AppleMedia-Services.If this is Incorrect Please Contact AppleSupport 1-855-554-Editted

It is a scam. Do not give scammers any money! Contact Apple at this email address: reportphishing@apple.com

Can you also report pfishing texts to apple pay? I got one from 9**-8**-***3 and I don't even use Apply pay for anything....telling me to call Apple Support at 8**-5**-***6

they have you download an app that gives them access to your phone. Then ask you to call another number for their tech support that’s when I knew I screwed myself and undid their access stuff! I better start changing passwords though I am sure!

Just had the same thing happen. Called the number and got an Indian accent from a call center. I gave him the order id # and he asked for my name so I just said “if you have the order ID number and can view my account you should be able to see my name and Apple ID, correct?” “Sir I just need your name” “how did you see I was charged $177 to my Apple ID if you can’t see my name?” Then he hung up. Never heard of a support operator hanging up mid call….

don’t give them an inch. 10000% scam

Answering the number and claiming to be Apple is the whole point of those scams where they attempt to get your Apple ID/Password. It also alerts them that you are susceptible to being scammed if you call back, so you will get more of them.

Simply never call a number or click a link provided in an email/message and provide any personal information. Problem solved! Verification of any message is always possible by dealing with the company/financial institution directly with known contact info, not one they send you to use.

I got hit by the Apple Pay scam texting -- and these guys are actually answering that 888 number and insisting they're Apple
