Caller: Kenneth Walker via PayPal

Kenneth Walker has sent a request for $200 AUD via PayPal. Kenneth Walker cancelled request 4 days later.

Don't fall for this. It's a SCAM.

I got a call from a scammer who managed to get this number to send me a security code and told me he needed the number to update my system.

Caller: 0485 872 975

I've had messages from this number - from Paypal - every time I've had a refund into my paypal account, so it's definitely a legitimate number that Paypal use

Legit for me - get these all the time buying meat in woolworths click and collect, and is the notification of the refund of the weight/price difference or the actual picked product. Sounds like the number has been spoofed for other people though.

Caller: PayPal 2FA Text

It's legit PayPal. I came here because I was getting these messages even though I wasn't online shopping, this had me thinking it was a scam... The missus was trying to buy something tho and called me up for the codes.

they got into ur phone as soon as u opened the line by pressing Y or N. what appears to be a Y actually has coded data attached to that letter. Those 2 letters they guided u to, would of had links attached to open the gateway making all your information now available to them......
Let me ask u a question : Do u feel sometimes that someone is right there in your phone at the exact time you are? Its not a plesant thought. I was too naive to know modern everyday tech was available to anyone whos interested enough to buy it online. I always knew something was not as it should be, but after 3 years of certain things occurring again and again. Finding weird stuff they'd not yet deleted, 5 phones latwr (nit broken in any way ) I screen shot anything abnormal and now looking back, once I had a few interesting screen shots, find myI would have my phone would automatically get activated and I got locked out of the phone. Last year when this all came to light and I spoke to family for the first time about my suspicions, I anticipated find my phone would get activated..... it was a constant tug of war on the On - Off button. Seriously when u know, u finally know. I didnt allow them to activate the find my phone. Its remote access, they see whatever ur looking at on your screen. U go to banking, type ur password .... they are just taking notes the whole time. But u know, trust me. U can feel the times ur not alone.

Have been getting PayPal security codes from this number since May 2022. Recently got one sent yesterday and one today which I never requested. Someone might be spoofing PayPal's actual number or I've only just realised that this is a scam number.

Caller: SMS from PayPal

This number is definitely PayPal. Received an SMS advising me of a refund from Kmart . I had received an email from Kmart approx 30 minutes before receiving the SMS advising me the item I had ordered was out of stock. I understand why people are suspicious it’s a scam, PayPal should be more responsible and list/advertise this number on their website so their customers can be saved the time & hassle of having to investigate the legitimacy of the number!

Caller: 0485 872 975

We all should know not to click on links of individual s we don’t know…
I received a money request of $250 from a David …, person
Opened my PayPal account directly, not through the messages, blocked and reported the person as scam…

Why do you assume that people overreacting?

Checked in my PayPal app before opening it .... no messages .... it's a phishing scam !!

Not sure who wrote the comments that it was legit maybe part of the scammer team? I received PayPal security codes but I don't have a PayPal account linked to my office HP number.

Today I received 5 texts from this number with a security code. Very swiftly, one after the other, and different codes. Yes, I have a PayPal account, but was not attempting to transact at that time, so seems Scammy to me. Password changed!!

Scam call. There was a recorded message, pretending to be Australian Government, that there is an important announcement, Press 1 for English, or Press 2 for Chinese. The recording ended there. How come can it assume that I am Chinese? Probably from my non-English surname. However, Australian government does not usually call people this way. Definitely a scam.

PAY PAL: You have a new money request. A SCAM!!!!!!

I always received sms from paypal confirming my transactions from this number. Today I received a sms from a different number asking to call another number 😂 Here is the sms: PAYPAL, Your Transaction Password 990971 to send $A1890.00 on 23-Apr-o7, If you do not recognize this action. Dial 1800 343 941 to stop payment Immediately; Blocked and reported to PayPal

It is a scam

Caller: SMS PAYPAL

Legit SMS PAYPAL number , sms code to log in

Caller: fake Paypal

Probably a scam. My daughter received a PayPal security code confirmation when she was asleep and she doesn't have an account. Unless someone has accidentally used her phone number. But this number is a very similar number to one I have received legit PayPal texts from 0458 729 725) - sounds dodgy

It is legit paypal
