I received a text to say my account is restricted due to a failed payment with a link to click. Of course I didn’t click the link and signed in via laptop. There is nothing coming up on my Paypal and all payments are completed. I assume this is a spam text?

Hi Rebeccathorpe,
Thank you for contacting the PayPal Community Forum.
Yes, this sounds like a phishing attempt you have received. You made the correct decision to check your PayPal account instead of clicking on the link provided.
