I’m getting spam robocalls that I decline to voicemail. The next thing that happens is a popup with an image of my Mastercard, which I think is an Apple Pay screen, asking me to enter my PIN to pay.

What would happen if I had Apple Pay set to Face ID for confirm?

Is this really an Apple Pay request, or is it a look-alike?

You probably pressed the power button twice on accident while declining the call. That activates Apple Pay, but would be unrelated to any calls.

You are absolutely correct. I was told that was the way to send a call to voice mail. I tried the double click, and it popped up Apple Pay, as you said.

Thanks!!
