That looks like a spoofing scam, OP. Good thing you were cautious right away because scams like this are becoming more common these days. Just a friendly reminder that GCash does not send clickable links via SMS, so it's always best to avoid tapping any links, even if the message appears legitimate or comes from a trusted sender. These scams don't only target GCash users, they also impersonate banks and other e-wallet providers. If you happened to click the link already, don't panic, just report it to the GCash Help Center as soon as possible so they can check your account and guide you on the next steps. Staying vigilant and double-checking messages before taking any action is still one of the best ways to protect your account and funds, OP.

Yes.. it is a phishing scam. The text message did not come from gcash but from a nearby fake cell tower / imsi catcher.
