I received a message claiming that my Trust Wallet account is not KYC verified and that my assets will be frozen if I don’t verify it. I don't even have a Trust Wallet account, so I believe this is definitely a scam.

The mobile number is sending me texts to a link “trust wallet”. It’s says my account will be suspended if I do not click the link. I believe this is a scam.
