I made quite a big payment on paypal that’s around 600USD, and everything fine until I received a text message from two numbers named “60414” and “67975” saying: [PayPal] Did you pay $500 USD to (person I sent to) on 13 August 2024 ? Reply 1 if yes or 2 if no. [Reply Needed] I replied with 1 because it was me and my message couldn’t go through both numbers for some reasons. I’m getting suspicious of this because I’m not sure if it’s a legit number from paypal or is it’s a scam. I make big payments quite often, and it hasn’t happened before. But if it isn’t a scam I’d like to know on ways of how to reply, Thanks.

We have also received a text from 60414. Wpuld be good to know whether this is fraudulant or not, as its asking us to log on and change password. Theres no link on the text.
