Enter Code Suspicious SMS

[Somerset2]

Hi there 

I've received the following SMS twice over the last 24 hours with a  different 6 digit code:

Enter your code on the PayPal website. CODE: ******. Msg and data rates may apply. 

They come from the same number that sends the legitimate PayPal security which expire in 10 minutes. I've changed my password.

The link to a PayPal page included in Drew's reply to a similar query isn't working.  See below

Here's a link that talks about texting with PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/mobile/mobile-text. The number that we text from is on this page. 

Thanks, 

Drew

Many thanks
