Caller: Paypal

not a scam. it is PayPal

Caller: (02) 9258 7125

Called me claiming to be from Paypal. Knew my exact negative Paypal balance (I didn't know it was negative at the time however), and asked me to log in to check it.

Asked him for his email, name and employer ID just to waste his time a bit, wouldn't supply me with an email or full name got a bit defensive lol. After hanging up checked my account online to see it was exactly the amount he said it was. :-O

Called (the real) Paypal and they were able to remove all my cards and bank account that was linked to my Paypal account. Paypal can tell you if someone from the real Paypal has called you or if it has been referred to an outside collection agency (mine hadn't and no one from Paypal had called)

So if someone calls you claiming to be from Paypal and they want card details to settle your account over the phone - don't do it, even if you log into paypal and they know your balance. Call the real Paypal & let them know immediately (check the web address to make sure its a legit paypal site). I'm only adding a prepaid travel card to my paypal account from now on as having multiple cards and a bank account linked to the account is just getting too risky.

Caller: PayPal

Legit number informing me of a negative balance. They had all my information including the amount in negative which was correct so I was not asked for any personal information. I thought it was a spam number and didn't answer at first.

its a scam

It is a scam call. Keeps asking me for my account details. And it always has the same person to answer the phone. Interesting.

Pretend to be able to retrieve my "lost" bitcoin. Asked me to log into a site: TrustFunds.ltd to see how much money I can get. But to Identify myself , I have to download an app.

Caller: "Paypal"

Caller rang my number and asked for my husband by name (first red flag - he doesn't us my number for anything) and asked me to get my husband to call him back. It felt a lot like a scam - checked Paypal's Australian number and it is *not* this number.

Caller: PayPal -

If you have a PayPal account check your balance. It is highly likely that they are trying to reach out to you to get you to put your account paid. They will not leave a message but will continue to ring until they can speak to you direct.

Makes sense for it to be paypal, though I did not pick up. They called twice this morning. I did get an email from paypal this morning as well. Due to paypal not correctly splitting between paypal balance and bank account as requested for a large payment, my account went into negative (it is all sorted now, I called them 10 days ago and also this morning).

Caller: Paypal

I suspect this is PAYPAL. When an account goes into negative(RED) they will try contact you. I never answered a call from them, but resolved it by fixing the Balance of the account.

Have rang 4 times today already. Never leave a message so annoying. Harassment at its best.
