Hi all,
I received a text today (August 17th 2019) from a supposed name of "-PayPal-" with the following:
"Your PayPal account has been limited due to suspicious activity on your account, follow the link: pages.today/PayPal"
Has anyone else had this text and know what the link leads to and if it is legitimate?
Im guessing its not legitimate as the link is not a PayPal link and when searching the link on who.is it says the company who registered the link goes by "Names.com", instead the official PayPal link being registered to "MarkMonitor Inc".
Thanks all.

Lots of people get this sort of email from PayPal along with banks and lots of other company's. Never click on these links! Just go to your PayPal account, log in and if there is a genuine issue you can read about it from there.
