Security 101: never click on a link in an unsolicited message, whoever it seems to come from.
the good thing for those living in the US:
"Are you at risk?
The BRATA Android scam first began making the rounds in Brazil in 2019. Cleafy says that the new mule accounts spreading the trojan are mostly coming from Italy, as well as Lithuania and the Netherlands. So, if you live in the US, this specific campaign probably won’t target you. That said, it’s one more scary threat that you should be aware of if you own an Android device."
edit:i am sure that at some point this scam will hit US soil, unfortunately.
