my text came from 1-410-100-004

Just received a text from 1410200500 (not a phone number) saying I had 230 ready for pickup. No mtcn # and a link that looks fake-- westernunion. login/aac4.club; I did eventually click on that went to a dead site (404...bad gateway, that sort of thing).

Definitely looks like a scam. Should I change anything on my real acct?

Received text from 1410200503:

"Content: FRM: Western Union Message MSG: You received 230 USD via Western Union. Go to wu.pickuptransfer1.club to pick up your money"

Wow, I received the same text. Same amount and everything. I clicked on the link and it did the same thing. I hope nothing comes of it.

I also received the same exact text message

No, there is no need to.

This is not a real text from the Western Union. The website looks just like a western union website however, it asks that you send them a copy of your driver's license. The Western Union does not require you to do this, it does require that you have your drivers license when you pick up the funds.
