Received an OTP code 754547 and told to verify and use link on <removed>
Have not asked for a code or ordered anything online since August.
Is this a text scam?

Hi @crowleyfl,
Thank you for your post, and for your caution. The URL that you posted is not legitimate. If you ever have concern about your PayPal account, please open a fresh browser window and log in that way. Following a link from a text is risky and should be avoided.
I hope this helps!
Olivia
