Caller: PayPal

Not sure what to make of all these comments. I received a message advising that a refund of $30 had been processed. This was a refund I was expecting & was legitimate.

Received text stating 10 minutes before Paypay "one time code" expired. Scam, scam, scam. Have not used Paypal for about 6 months. I note that in this string of posts, that most, if not all who claim the phone number is "genuine" are "anonymous".

PayPal system reads the number off your genuine account information. It does not have someone sitting there pushing numbers on a phone. I therefore wonder why you would post your comment here?

Caller: Claimed to be a text from PayPal

Someone sent a text pretending to be from PayPal on 0458 729 725. They sent a transaction code to authorise a payment, knowing that I had not requesed a payment on PayPal I independently checked my PayPal account via desktop computer. The verification code PayPal sent for me to sign in also came through in a text to my phone appearing to be from the same phone number 0458 729 725 ? ? ? No charges were pending.

Caller: Scammer saying they were Paypal

Received 23 Jul 2022 with scam security code trying to steal Paypal login details.
Similar call from same number 21 Jun 2020.

Caller: Someone who wanted me let me see my PayPal balance

It’s a Sam. Don’t give ANY info and block their number

Caller: PayPal

I have a code sent to my phone to verify when I log in...the code is sent from this number.

Caller: Supposedly Paypal

I have had so many spam messages from this number it's ridiculous. I've ignored them all. The most I've done is gone onto Paypal itself and checked for alerts. Guess what: there were none. Reported as spam and blocked.
Those of you desperately trying to convince the rest of us that it's a legit number? Shame on you.

Caller: A scammer?

SMS message received at 1:45am - I can assure you I was asleep then so I was not trying to use my PayPal so I am quite sure it's a scam.
"PayPal: XXXXX is your security code. It expires in 10 minutes. Don't share this code with anyone."
The number on my phone came up as 0458 729 725.

Caller: 0458 729 725

This message from Paypal regarding the 045872..... scam number is absolutely correct. It's too bad other entities like Amazon Prime don't post a similar note regarding the massive number of scam calls supposedly coming from them in order to steal financial details.

Caller: 0458 729 725

I received a text at an odd time 433am saying this is my code

I didn't and wasn't in paypal at that time to make a purchase. SCAM, ignore the people saying otherwise......also note I this number is different to the number that was used for my last real purchase last month.

Caller: CLAIMING IT IS FROM PAY PAL.

Got this message yesterday at 12.50 AM.
I DONT even have Pay Pal Account.
This has to be a scam, of course I never answer such calls or SMS, I just Blocked it. Grrrrrrrrr.

Caller: Paypal

I agree with previous comment, this is a valid Paypal number. I have received three text messages from this message, the first with a validation code while I was making an Ebay purchase, the second 1 minute after I submitted a case to Paypal's resolution centre informing me that Paypal had received my case, and the third just now with a validation code, however I have not made any purchase recently. So the third is vindication that Paypal's security checking is working as possibly someone has tried to use my Paypal account to purchase something and I received the validation code.

Caller: PayPal

I wish people who dont know would not comment. I have contacted PayPal and they advised me that cause I have my two step verification activated when I am making a payment via Face Book or an unknown device the I do get sent a verification code from PayPal before I can proceed with the payment

Now I am really confused. PAYPAL OR SCAM.?😕😡😬

if you have chosen multi factor authentication when using PayPal, this is the number they use to send you your one time code to login with. it's legit.

Caller: 0458 729 725

Advised by Optus this is a scam.
I hope they are right about that as I am already a victim of severe legitimate identity theft.

Caller: 0458 729 725

A family member is accused of cyberstalking with this number that his ex partner received, he is currently on remand in custody, charged by QLD Police. Allegations are he sent her smishing texts. He has pled not guilty.

received message supposedly from PayPal concerning unauthorised payment. Returned call on my landline.
He wanted my updated expiry date for my credit card...bogus call and hung up when I refused

Got a text asking if I'd make a paypal transaction, when I knew I hadn't. Got on line and checked...... no transaction showing up
