Caller: paypal

Payment, account alert

Caller: PayPal account verification

This is definitely a legitimate PayPal number, the one that sends verification codes to let you log into your account, at least in Australia. I had previously blocked it thinking it was a scam, then spent frustrating weeks NOT getting verification codes they'd sent me and unable to log into my account.
It can also come up as 62485872975.
Could it be faked and used by a scammer? Probably. But if you're having trouble getting verification from legitimate PayPal when you're trying to pay for something, I suggest you unblock it and consider each sms purporting to be from PayPal on its merits.

Caller: A scammer

Claiming from PayPal, sends a security code & not to share. I hadn’t even purchased anything. Don’t click on the number. They are sneaky the link is the number they claim to be a security code.

PayPal scam: “You have a new money request. Pay at: (link). Ashley Bell sent a request for $50.00 AUD”. Blocked.

4 times sent me code, 2 minutes apart. Went onto PayPal app and they had changed my settings to remove faceid and to enter my password

PayPal dows nor send these out of the blue..rubbisf3

Scam! I'm sick of this number. They're trying a number of ways to hack my bank details. One is using PayPal as an excuse and another is using City Link tolls. Catch these pricks!

On five occasions at least I have received security numbers from this number when logging into my PayPal account, and everything was above board.

Perhaps if you receive an 'unsolicited' message and believe it's a scam, then the number may be spoofed and should be ignored ?

Caller: PayPal

SMS advising payment received, all legit. I was expecting that payment. NOT A SCAM.

Caller: Scammer

This number sent a security code. Paypal really should have insisted that this number is shut down immediately for the safety of customers.

Caller: SMS from 0485 872 975

Paypal giving me a security code. I haven't bought anything??

Scammer, do not click the link

Message with "10 minute time limit" arrived at 2:16am when i was asleep, so definitely not using PayPal!
None of the three genuine PayPal payments i have made this week triggered a text like this. Considering the number of reports from people who don't have PayPal accounts yet are receiving these, it seems dodgy. Read other comments and decide for yourself.

scammers pretending to be paypal, providing dodgy link in SMS looks like a security code, don't open it.

I have not used my PayPal account in many years, but got an SMS in early hours of the morning.

Received a text message about the payment from PayPal. Checked my PayPal account and the funds will be withdrawn from my PayPal account. To avoid being ripped off your money or scam, you should not click on any link given from the text messages. Always check your account on the app or your laptop is the best solution that I can recommend.

PayPal - Sent me a security code - expiring in 10 minutes and don't share code. This was at 12.34am and i definitely wasn't doing anything with paypal at that time. Wish those scammers go and get a real job like us

Caller: PayPal Scammer

Received a scan message saying I’d received a refund of a nominal amount but I don’t use PayPal so I know THIS IS A SCAM! Block this number and do not reply, or do anything they request! Also ensure you report this on here to warn others please.
