When there had been dreadful floods in Sydney and up the coast, I got this text message on 25 March, (I'm on NSW Mid North Coast), and the link was legitimate: Hi, Foxtel here.

Reply to this SMS to chat with us or head here for more information: https://www.foxtel.com.au/support/flooding.html

Sms from foxtel to fix a reported problem. Funny i have not reported a problem with Foxtel in over 2 years. The link provided is suspicious. SCAM!

Just got this text message. I am not having problems with Foxtel. I think this is a scam.
