Random msg about holding place in line at the Genius Bar. Potentially a scam!

Caller: Apple

This is a genuine phone number. I booked a genius bar appointment, then received this message.

I think that the people claiming this number is a scam had their phone number entered by someone else.

It is accurate Apple number confirming in shop appointment .

Claiming to be from Apple saying a genius bar reservation has been made. There are two links in the text. I don't own any Apple devices nor did I make this appointment.
Don't click these links because phone number can easily be spoofed my scammers. If you made an appointment just go to Apple's website instead of clicking the links to be safe.

Reservation made for me at Genius Bar. Press 1 to cancel. --- I have no Apple stuff so it must be a scam & had no idea what a Genius Bar was. I have blocked the number
