Hi, I've had text which says it's from PayPal support. It says my account is under review and I need to complete a security form to avoid suspension.
It gives a link .. 'Support-info.org'
I've not clicked on it as I'm certain it is not genuine. Can anyone confirm my suspicions please.
Thanks.

Hello @FDDs,
Good eye. That definitely sounds like it's not from us. I'd recommend forwarding that text to spoof@paypal.com. Here's a bit more information about common scams and how to spot them.
Thanks for reaching out!
