@Vikirobbo82   Forward the message to 7726 and then the number it can from when requested.  Just report it and once reported delete the message. Do not click any links within that message.  Obviously it’s a scam 

Thank you - sent it over to them 

@Beebs26   The text is a scam report by forwarding it to 7726. 

Ok thank you it concerned me as it come
Up as I made a purchase

Sent from my iPhone

How did you report it with 7726? It asks for a number but this has come directly via iTunes.

 

I had the same thing appear today.

@Beebs26   If that was the case why are they sending that message to you ?  Exactly how they expect you to sort this payment for them.     What I do recommend is that you change your iTunes password. 

@Vikirobbo82   Who was this sent from ?   What is the name ?  

The issue is that it came directly from the iTunes sender and as soon as a purchase was made.

 

It isn’t a random phishing text.
