If you received a text message or email telling you that “Account might be blocked for your security!” DON’T click on any link or respond to it! The spam message comes from text-pp.com-servicesupport@lsg.org, which should be a tip-off, but in case you’re not sure, it’s a scam!

As you can see, they are using the URL shortener bit.do to make it look even more enticing:

Destination Content Removed at Other End

Shame on bit.do for not having an automatic filter that disallows URLs with the term “paypal” in them!

As for the address of text-pp.com-servicesupport@lsg.org, LSG.org is a domain that comes out of Grand Cayman (surprise, surprise), an offshore region from which originate many online scams.
