Hello I have received multiple texts from different numbers that write: “Hi. Incoming funds transfer was hold by Departament Support. Review Case ID-085-05831: <a href="https://usapaypal.sijid.com”" target="_blank">https://usapaypal.sijid.com”</a> I just want everyone to be aware of this scam and not to believe things they receive. PayPal will never ask you to login from a weird link. These jerks need to be stopped! Be smart! Thank you! 🙂

I have recieved 2 of these messages today within 4 hours. Definitely do NOT click the link. Most likely some kind of malware or ransomware

Yes exactly same here - two different numbers but same exact message a few hours apart and an email yesterday trying to get into my account too... unfortunately I can’t reply with what I’d really like to say to say to them because they don’t see it lol <removed>
