Hi Guys,
Has anyone had a text message saying there had been unauthorised access on their Paypal account from <removed> and when checking their account (not through the text link) that everything looks OK?
Regards
Stephen

Hi SjDrew,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the Community!
In general, we do not send text messages reporting that there has been unauthorised activity on your PayPal account. What we could do, would be to ask you if you authorise a payment or you do not recognise it.
Here is more information on phishing attempts.
I hope this helps!
Martina
