Malicious Links

These type of texts are designed to get victims to click a link, then through the redirects you wind up installing a malicious script into your Browser. They can be simple Browser hijackers that create popups to keyloggers/trackers that record every keyboard press along with the websites, then sends it to the scammers.
Most times, the "ending" website has nothing to do with the reasoning they sent the link. The "reason" they sent a text was to get you to click the link, which will redirect to multiple websites, each redirecting to the next one. Some ending websites are designed to phish credit card or personal info on click bait sites they get paid from your clicks, while others just go to a News Article or a search engine.

Here is an example from a scam link's redirect path I captured:

If you clicked a link:
