PayPal text message from 62226

I've received 3 text messages today from 62226 saying - "[PayPal] A £743.33 GBP transaction from xxxx on 13 November 2017 was marked suspicious. Please reply 1 if authorised or 2 if not."

 

This is the exact amount of a recent transaction of mine however, 2 of the messages quote US Dollars rather than British Pounds and there is no information on my paypal account that gives me any indication there is a problem. The company I purchased goods from has given me an order confirmation also.

 

Is this a legitamite text message from PayPal?

Got the same problem here in france.
Tried to call them and got : "this Text Message is genuine please answer 1.

 

So i Did it but then got another Text asking me to include the regional digit and ty again... WTF ?

Paypal it is a mandatory that you have to answer clearly about thoses Text we receive...

This is really not a serious position to stay quiet on that problem.

Same for me today. I answered 1 to the first message, as they knew the amount and the cost! then I changed passwords
