Caller: Claim Paypal

Like others I have received a number of SMS saying "your security code is.... It expies in 10mins. Don't share this with anyone." Paypal would never say that. Now I get "We need to collect additional information from you. To avoid impacts to your account please log into your Paypal account and act now." Again Paypal would never say that and never threaten "impacts." Stupid stupid stupid. Straight onto the Scammer list.........

Caller: Text

I was given no links to click on. So I’m not sure. PayPal: For your protection, we've limited certain features in your PayPal account due to suspicious activity. Log in to resolve the issue.

Caller: Fraudulent SMS claiming to be PayPal

I received an sms from this number claiming to be PayPal needing an update on information. They didn't include a link. I logged onto PayPal on my laptop and asked about it and was advised it was a fraudulent number that should be blocked and the number deleted.

I received 3 sms in one day from 0458 729 725.

<#>PayPal: Your security code is xxxxxx. Your code expires in 10 minutes. Please don't reply to this message.

I received 2 SMS messages from that number today claiming it was my PayPal code.
I haven't used PayPal to purchase anything for about a year.
Blocked the number

Caller: PayPal

I just sent money and received a text confirming it was sent so this is PayPal australia

Caller: I don't know

I received this unsolicited number on my WhatsApp chat list and it will not allow me to delete it.. I have tried on a number of occasions to get rid of it but a window appears saying unable to delete. I am out of solutions.

It's PayPal

Folks ... chill out. This IS a legitimate phone number. The text that was sent from this number IS directly linked to PayPal and I confirmed that, today, by logging onto my PayPal account. The text simply advises that a scheduled payment would be made in the coming days.

Caller: I do know, it wasn't a call-it was a text message

yes, it is really paypal confirming one's mobile number for account security purposes.

31/08/2021 this scam still running.

I can confirm - it is an automated message from paypal - for me it was a reminder for an upcoming payment which I had actually forgotten about. When into my account and it was correct.

I don't have Paypal & message came through at 2:30am from this number to 'verify security code'.

Its a scam....

I just this same number to pay $300 through PayPal

Caller: Paypal

They told me there was a suspicious charge on my account. I went onto the website on my computer via Google and there was a suspicious charge on my account.

paypal authentication texts

Caller: PayPal au security code

I get messages from paypal with the security code verification you have to enter .

I have been receiving a lot of SMS messages from Pay Pal.
I just sent this phone number to Pay Pal and they said it is not theirs. The do not send SMS messages, only emails. So this is SPAM.

Caller: Paypal

This is Paypal's notification number. If someone sends you money via Paypal, you will get an sms from this number.
HOWEVER.... scammers can spoof the number (or ANY number) and make it look like they are calling from this number since it is publicly known.
So if you bought something on ebay etc and you get a Paypal notification it's ok.
If you did not just use Paypal and get a notification on this number just ignore it because it could be scammers trying to hook you.
