Landlord trying to trick me?

Landlord trying to trick me?

My landlord sent me 3 text messages yesterday (one of which around 6am which i think would be considered unreasonable, but not sure since it's not a phone call. It did wake me up though). I wasn't in the mood, and also busy with work all day so I ignored it for the time being.

The next morning, I receive from the same number what appears to be a phishing SMS.

Do you think:

1 an actual scammer spoofing her number? (timing seems too good to be a coincidence?)

2 landlord trying trick me to get me to contact her

3 landlord actually trying to scam me

what do you think?

Scenario 1, not her fault and not much we can do about it.

Scenario 3, she just committed a crime

But for Scenario 2... even if it's just to trick me to get me to contact her, this would still be a crime since this is an individual pretending to be a legitimate business right?

The SMS claims to be from Currys (which I have never ever been to) with 2 URLs asking me to do a survey.

Edit: just to add a bit more context. We've been texting back and forth because I'm due to move out in a couple weeks, and she is demanding I repaint the walls, but I've bene refusing because there is nothing wrong with them other than normal wear and tear. I didn't respond to 3 messages she sent yesterday, and now I get this "phishing" SMS from her.
