Today I got the same text message from Paypal at 3:25 AM. The content of the message was: "PayPal: Did you recently attempt to make a payment for $500.00 USD? Reply "1" if yes and you will need to reattempt your payment, reply "2" if no, and the payment will remain declined. Msg and Data rates apply" and I am glad they did, because I did not authorized that transaction. At around 4 PM today I repied with "2" (without quotation mark) to signal that I did not authorized that transaction and then immediately got the same reply you got, which content was: "PayPal: Payment not completed. Invalid phone number or email. Include area code and please try again. Example: send 34.99 to 415-000-1234" So anyways, I am assuming that the payment stayed not sent, if it gets sent anywhere in the future it shall get disputed.
