I received a text after making a payment saying: &quot;[PayPal] Did you pay $xxx.xx AUD to xxxxxxxx on 27 December 2019? Reply 1 if yes or 2 if no. [Reply Needed]&quot; My phone automatically had the number as PayPal but once I checked the number that sent it was <removed> I replied 1 as it was correct but I'm concerned now it might be a scam. I'm in Australia by the way.

Hey @Richocerous,

 

That can definitely be concerning! PayPal does send text messages to try to help prevent fraud, and if the information regarding the transaction was correct, you shouldn't have any concerns. 🙂 I hope this helps!
