Does this sound like Apple may have been hacked to gain personal information?

I ordered something from Apple store.....it arrives on time a week or so ago. I just got a text message that said "Apple: MY NAME (FIRST AND LAST), we've discovered a pricing issue on your most recent delivery to MY POSTAL CODE. To get your money returned in your account, respond YES"
Some pretty specific information there.

Thoughts?

The item was ordered from my desktop.

I called Apple and have been advised to send a screenshot. I am more concerned about how they have my personal info....sounds like a security breach to me.

I'm with sdifox. This doesn't sound like a breach, it sounds more like a coincidental scam. There's a good chance the perpetrators don't even know you've done business with Apple.
