BoA Helpline Scam Transaction Text and Fake Telephone Number

I received the BoA Helpline transaction text message below from 22395 claiming I should use the code in it to approve a wire transaction for a purchase at Flloyds Inc. The text then claims I should call BoA helpline or customer service at 866-497-4781 if I did not authorize the transaction. I know this text is a scam because I do not have a Bank of America account and the telephone number does not appear to belong to BOA.
