Sounds like a scam, you really shouldn't click any links. |

My partner also got it but she doesn’t pay for the account |

Fairly sure its a scam! never ever click a link |

Would be curious to find out how they got your number and the fact you're registered on fab.
Potentially it could be a data breach / hack if multiple users are receiving these texts. |

Sounds like you have something that has been loaded onto your phone like some sort of malware probably through some other app that you are not aware of, which searches your phone and email contacts and then uses them to send you messages, which if you open them allows that malware to search deeper into things like bank card numbers and personal data. Never open any messages from a number or address that you do not know. |

Has she ever paid for it in the past? |

No she’s never paid for it, I always pay through my phone bill.
Just funny how we’ve both had it and on Fab? |

Yes exactly what we are thinking |

Fab doesn't store your phone number, and they don't send emails about your, i assume, text payments.
I personally would run a spyware scan and not click the link. |

I've got a feeling they do store numbers. When looking at their text upgrade page, under the 'upgrade form' (when something has gone wrong with your upgrade code) it asks you to provide the number you used to pay. Presumably to match their database records to what customers are saying. |

They store MAC addresses so I'm sure they store alot more |

They don't store numbers or CC details , mainly because they use a third party to process the text or CC payments.
If they need to check a payment they would go back to the processor |

To the OP, the site doesn't store your number, as another mod has said, maybe use a spyware on your phone |
