this is a new one to me and glad I checked in with paypal to be sure it was nonsense before clicking on anything
they sent me a text message saying that "kim has sent you 20.00" and the body of the text includes a hyperlink to check your balance that looks legit but is definitely missing the "s" in https: that all secure verified sites have
sure enough it is a Trojan to gain access to your paypal account remotely, where they can steal your chainsaw play money and change the password so you cant get back in to your account
Be Very Wary and never click any link in correspondence you did not initiate!!

remember Tammy in Atlanta got me for a grand because I let me guard down, suspect anything and everything
confirm before you click
