Will PayPal Text Me From A Mobile Number? Scam Text

If a text messages address you as "Dear Member", "Customer", "Client" or email address, then you have received a scam from scammers attempting to steal your account credentials, personal and financial information. Remember, PayPal will address you by your name. And, if there is a link in a text to "cancel" any transaction or "confirm" any details, the text is a scam and you should delete it.
