I received a text from [Removed: Telephone numbers not allowed] “PayPal:A card payment has been made visit:[Removed: Links Not Allowed]  to remove any pending restrictions.”

It looks very suspicious, can anyone confirm please?

Hi @Dmurdoch47,

 

The information you provided does appear to be a phishing link. I would recommend deleting those texts and blocking that number. If you ever need to verify your PayPal account activity, just visit the PayPal website and log in.

Thanks.  I tried the link from an old phone and it was blocked by the spam filter.
