Report it, delete it and move on with your day. These scammers have become so prevalent now…that I treat everything as a scam until I can prove otherwise.

Tell your friends, family and colleagues about this so these scammity scammers have fewer targets.

There are a lot of these scams going around.

The claim that the message is from Apple Security is a bald-faced lie. Also, banks do not handle suspected fraud in this way. If they think a transaction might be fraudulent, they don't block it temporarily and then let it proceed when they hear nothing from you. They block it, and then it doesn't proceed unless you contact your bank, and convince them that the transaction is legitimate.
