5 SMSs received in one minute - each stating "Paypal: 864162 is your security code. Don't share your code." Each had a different code number. It must be a scam. I logged onto my Paypal account and changed my password,

Text saying payment didn't go through. Amounts were not correct and I always pay in advance. No current payment due. Definitely scam text, no link. Plus my method of contact is email not sms.

Received text message saying PayPal payment did not go through. I haven't used PP for 6 months. And there was a link to tell me to load the PayPal App attached.

FAKE PAYPAL REQUEST TO DOWNLOAD APP
PayPal: Hi. Here's your unique link to download the PayPal app. https://py.pl/z9Sxi

Given the variety of different requests on this number I would definitely list it as a scam. If you need to do anything such as download an app or check for bills owing in your account, do it safely yourself via your app store or via your own login page.

Calls and also sms purporting to be PayPal… 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!
