Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The iPhone X scam text below from 07399521491 is just one of the many Apple Pay scams which pretends to be Apple and claims the recipients' card has been added to an Apple device. It then says if the recipients do not own the device they can cancel it at a fake and phishing Apple website. If you have received Apple Pay scams, please do not click the link in them because it goes to a phishing website that steals account credentials, personal and financial information.
