Received a text from Paypal in middle of the night prompting me to download the app

[TheVeryFirstLAD]

USA text from [removed]: "PayPal: Hi xxxxx. Here's your link to download the PayPal app. https://py.pl/22aZDR". Came in middle of the night. I did not ask for a link to app?  The phone number it was sent to is the one associated with my PayPal account.

I removed my CC from the account and changed my PW.  Is there some legitimate way I could have received this text?

Hi @TheVeryFirstLAD!

 Welcome to PayPal Community Forum and thank you for posting!

I understand that you are worried about the notification that you have received. It is possible that we contacted you by email, text message, or through an automated call. To verify if the message you received is really from PayPal, log in to your PayPal account securely by typing www.paypal.com into your browser's address bar and go to your Resolution Center. Your Resolution Center will contain information on any account issues we may have contacted you about.
 

If you receive a suspicious email, text message, or call, do not provide your personal or financial information, and do not click on any links, please forward them to phishing@paypal.com. If you provided personal or financial information, please change your PayPal password and security questions at your earliest convenience. You may want to first run a virus scan, just to make sure that you didn't pick something up from clicking any links. You can also read more about how to spot fake emails in this help center article.
