I just received a text message saying:
"Your paypal has been temporarily Limited! You have 24H to confirm account information or your account will be locked."
From telephone number 07521 775402

Hi sharonandrews,
Welcome to our Community!
It would seem you are correct in your assumption, this is a phishing text. Our text will come from 62226 for all accounts in the UK market.
If you wish, when you receive a text message that you believe is not from PayPal, forward the message to 62226 and insert the word spoof in the beginning of the message.
Thanks
Martin
