As usual, my wife did not tap the text. Instead, we took a screenshot of it and sent it to my email so I can share it with you. I also learned recently that a few of my friends received this text on their phones as well. This text is more than likely a scam and you certainly don't want to open the link. Who knows what's waiting for you on the other side.
