Fake text message with (un-requested) security code

Just received 3 identical texts, furnishing a Security Code that "expires in 10 minutes."
Completely bogus, and my cell phone number is not even on file with PayPal (nor with hardly anybody else.)
 
Should I be concerned?  Anything I should do?
 
Thanks in advance!

Hi @MARrshh,

 

If you suspect that you have received a fake or SPAM text message, forward them to ‘7726’ (which is the keys for SPAM on most phones). Check with your service provider to find out if this service is supported or you can read more about the service on the GSMA website.

 

Hope this helps!
