Paypal Security alert - Is it legit?

I've had the following text from 67975:

 

PayPal security alert: Did you sign in to your account at 04:14 AM BST, 17-Jul-2020? If yes, reply 'Y'. If no, reply 'N'. Message and data rates apply.

 

I've never had one of these before in 18 years of membership and my account seems OK so I'm assuming it's a scam. Anyone know for sure?

 

Thanks

I’ve had the same. It came through just as I had logged in? Can anyone help?

Exactly the same, came in when I logged in, very spooky.

I have just had the same message. I put the number in google and it said it was a scam. Any messages I have had from Paypal before say Paypal as the sender, not a phone number
