Text phishing scam??

Sorry if this has been raised before....I;ve just received a text from <removed> saying (I quote exactly): "Your PayPal has been temporarily Limited! You have 24H to confirm account information or your account will be locked:!

 

Then there is a link which I'm not going to follow.

 

I've logged in to my account and all is fine. This looks like one of the scamming low-life turds, so I've blocked the number as well. And changed my password....

I got one of these as well. Paypal has an email reporting option. Is there a text forwarding option where I can forward a suspicions sms to them?
