7 messages from this number in the last 10 days, definitely a scam

I had a text from this number requesting a payment for $300AUD from a Leonel Von with a link. When I logged into my PayPal account it showed a payment request for Bitcoin. I didn't respond so it got cancelled.

You will receive a text from this spam number under the disguise of PayPal, the text will say “PayPal: You have a new money request. Pay at: <link>. Vincenzo Esposito Esposito set a request for $299.99 AUD. Do NOT click any links. If you log in to your official PayPal account, you will see this illegal transaction has tried to take place. Thankfully, in my case the transaction was cancelled (unsure who or how it was cancelled). In any case, I called PayPay on the offical help line and PayPal have told me that my account was safe, and they will investigate further. But PayPal suggested I change my account password in the meantime.

just got a text message saying money was trying to be taken out off my account, poor punctuation

I got a message also stating I had a request for payment to a name I didn’t recognise.
I logged into my PayPal account. The amount was waiting for me to approve. I reported it to PayPal

17/06/24: SCAM!!!!! Texted fake security code, I of course assumed someone tried getting in but I already have 2 factor authentication set up another way, so they couldn’t even if they tried. Called the number back, Optus voice advised the number is disconnected. Blocked.

5 SMSs received in one minute - each stating "Paypal: 864162 is your security code. Don't share your code." Each had a different code number. It must be a scam. I logged onto my Paypal account and changed my password,

Text saying payment didn't go through. Amounts were not correct and I always pay in advance. No current payment due. Definitely scam text, no link. Plus my method of contact is email not sms.

FAKE PAYPAL REQUEST TO DOWNLOAD APP
PayPal: Hi. Here's your unique link to download the PayPal app. https://py.pl/z9Sxi

Given the variety of different requests on this number I would definitely list it as a scam. If you need to do anything such as download an app or check for bills owing in your account, do it safely yourself via your app store or via your own login page.
