Scam text mesage??

[Munajs]

Hello all,

I have received a text from a PPSupport saying that there is unauthorised access on my account and asking to promptly log in through a link in the text. I didn't click on the link but used my computer to log into my account and it looks normal. Did anyone receive such a text? The link I was asked to follow is a https://security-user.com/paypal  it just looks dodgy

If its a spoof, DO NOT USE ANY LINK.

Firstly if the email/ text addressed you as ''Dear Member'' / ''Customer'' / ''Client'' OR your ''email address'' then that confirms its a spoof as paypal would address you by your full name eg Dear John Smith.

Secondly if there was a link OR attachment in that email link to ''cancel'' any transaction or ''confirm'' any details then again it would be a spoof.

If there was a problem with your account Paypal would not ask you to click on an unsafe link in an email or by downloading an attachment, they would direct you to log in normally and go to the resolution or the message centre for more information.
