Order Declined - Scam Text?

This is probably a scam text, so I didn't reply, but I'd like confirmation if others have received the same thing...

 

Got a text from number <removed>. Message says:

FRM: <removed>

MSG:.PayPal order declined.

(Then there's a Reciept PAYID number and a URL that I've never heard of. I don't want to post them here in case something about it IDs me somehow / I don't want someone to click on the link)

 

I know  <removed> is a legit PayPal number, but since it didn't actually come FROM that number, it's just in the body of their text, I'm assuming its a scam.

 

There's no corresponding activity in my PayPal account so I assume phishing.

 

Anyone else get texts like this?
