Scam text message on apple wallet

I just got a text message from an unidentied UK number saying something like that: Apple iOS Alert: abnormal wallet activity has been detected on your decive. Immediate action required. Call now: (with a phone number here).


I deleted it but got a similar one later.


Are they scam messages? Thx!

It is a scam text message that was sent to you just like any other text message you would receive. No action is needed on your part as long you did not call the number in the message where that would have led to your account being compromised, because that message did not come from Apple.

Also note that if you tap a link in any scam text, that notifies the scammer that you are susceptible to believing what they say and you will receive more scam messages.
