I have received a text msg. "ALERT: new device has been added onto Paypal on 6th Aug at 4.36pm. If this was not you immediately visit <removed> to regain full access. Is this a phishing attempt?

I also received a message saying "a new device logged into my account & if it wasn't me to follow the secure link" I assume this is not from PayPal but regardless I wouldn't click a link in a txt or email, preferring to speak directly with the company via the routes I have email/phone
