My wife got this text and called them back.. They had a lot of her credit card details and it appears that they may have hacked her paypal acccount to get them - all the cards, including a business card that isn't in her name were registered in there.. When she tried to log in to paypal, her PW has been changedIf you've received this text, try logging into your paypal and I'd recommend you change your password
