Real or not - Argos - text saying I’ve come 3rd

Options
Hi - I’ve had this text message from Argos saying I’ve come 3rd and click on to link. It doesn’t look right. But I’ve only just started comping after many years of not. So I’m super excited if I have won, but thought I should get this checked out by all you lovely professional compers! 
Many thanks

    Did you enter an Argos competition and give your text number? Almost certainly not, so that would be enough to make it a scam without even needing the text to look like spam as well - nice to see the old list of 3 names where you or your actual name is one of them is still going (the fact this doesn't have your actual name is also a pointer to it being spam)

    (McAfee advise the link is "very dangerous)
