Apple Pay Scam Alert: Don't Panic or Call | Wilmington News

Got a text saying Apple Pay just charged you $8,250 and another $8,250 is coming? Don’t panic—don’t call the number. It’s a classic scam designed to rush you into giving up personal info or installing malware. The message uses fake urgency, vague excuses like “agricultural processing surplus,” and even pretends to be official—but it’s from overseas and uses a bogus U.S. number. Real alerts are clear and calm. Verify everything through your Wallet app, bank’s official app, or by calling the number on your card. Stay sharp: scammers thrive on fear.
