How It Works
The link in that message is malicious and often carries malware or spyware, through which hackers can get into your phone. Their aim is to steal your private information, which they can use for identity theft. Also, as confirmed in this conversation on Reddit, the link takes you to payment page where you are made to input your credit card details. Those who go ahead with this end up giving up their credit card information to these hackers.

When you receive such messages and want to be sure it is not scam, do the following:
- send the original company an email to confirm the authenticity of the text

- do not, out of curiosity, click on the link to see where it leads
