A resident received this exact text message from who they believed to be Apple. They called the phone number at the bottom and handed over a package of cash to an unknown individual “Apple” stated was an “officer”. They had to provide a special passcode and the victim was told the payment was necessary to recoup the money they owed.

We want to warn the public that messages like these are a scam. If you do a Google search of the phone number in the message, it shows no affiliation to Apple. The text message also came from an international number. When in doubt, do not be quick to pay any unknown individual and always contact a trusted person or call your local police department to verify if a message like this is real or a scam.
