What is this scam?
This scam tactic is called Smishing. This is a type of phishing in which the first communication between scammer and potential victim is a text. The second and dangerous communication starts if you click on the link to their website paypal-user-152.com
This website was registered on the 3rd of October 2020. Doubtless if you clicked through the link you would find a site that is designed to look just like the real PayPal website. Of course you would be invited to log in using your PayPal banking details. These would then be used by the scammers to commit fraud against you.
