Is this a scam?

So I got a text message on my phone from a number I didn't recognize that read as
hi i sent your payment

Wondering if someone might have gotten their numbers mixed up I asked if they could tell me who they were, and then the next day got an e transfer link that apparently has 500 dollars in it... for what I have no idea.

Is this a scam?

    Either an honest mistake or a scam. Just ignore it.

    Yeah that's 100% a scam. I also had one spoofing one of my providers saying "you paid your bill click the link to verify" except it wasn't from my provider it was some scammer dick wad. If you ever get a text out of the blue for anything its a scam. Yes even the one from mee maw saying she finally got a phone that can text.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Especially from Mee Maw.

    I get more scan requests from idiot family with compromised computers/phones/accounts than randos.
