Hello, I just received a text message "PayPal: You have paid $38.89 USD to Motoscoot. View Receipt: Https://www.paypal.com/....." I have not purchased anything thru PayPal in years.  When I log on to my account, it shows no activity.  I proceeded to add security questions, received a text from the same number with a code to verify the changes.  I am really confused.  Are scammers using this number as well as PayPal?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just got a text asking me to reply to them Y or N. “PayPal Security Alert: Did you sign into your account at 06:08 PM PDT, 14-Oct-2020? If yes, reply Y. If no, reply N. Msg & Data rates apply.“
