Hey lesley2016jenki,
Great question! We do sometimes send text messages, but typically it's to advise that we've seen an unusual transaction or activity, or to send a verification code. If you received a text asking you to click a link or log in from the text message, then it was probably a spoof message. I hope this helps!
