I received a text msg stating the following: "PayPal Security Alert: You have Charged a PAYMENT of $199.99 for Visa card. IF ITS not you then Contact PayPal SUPPORT immediately AT[Removed. Phone #s not permitted]" My PayPal account shows 'No activity.' I called the number and they told me to "Google: What is my IP address" so they could link the "help center to my account" to enable them to "block or secure" my PayPal account. Is this you all? Is this a scam? Please contact me ASAP. This is attached to my company phone so I'm contacting my IT Dept, the Police Dept, and our lawyers.
