Indicating  Gamestop a $5 charge will be added to my bill if I don't text back STOP

Received a text message reading: "Thank you for subscribing.  You are currently enrolled in the 7-Day Free Trial.  Your subscription will be charged on 04-01-2020 for $5/mo.  Txt STOP to cancel.  Help: 1572440171."  Text message includes a link and that message and data rates may apply.  I didn't order or subscribe to anything.  There is no indication who this message came from.

This is a scamming text from a scamming company going by the name GameZone Forest Interactive. They will send a text informing of a recurring monthly charge to their services. I initially ignored the text as I figured it was a scam and was not going to click on the link to avoid viruses or hacking. I received more texts indicating they would charge me. Not until I got a text alert directly from Sprint that a $5.00 charge (explanation what for in text) that I called customer service at Sprint. The rep mentioned GAMEZONE. I then informed her of it being fraud as I have no such subscription and she blocked the charge that was to post today along with future charges.
