Missed a call from this number today - called back, and they said they were Paypal. I refused to gove them any details, and asked why they called me. She wouldn't say why, so I hung up. Then I called Paypal and was told that they do not contact customers this way, it's either a notification on the app, or an email. This number is absolutely NOT from Paypal. I have blocked it.

Caller: "PayPal" Missed the call and called back according to the voice message it is PayPal, but sounds 10/10 like a scam since PayPal would normally email me or alert me in my account if I have any issues such as outstanding amounts owing

Caller: Paypal 100% Paypal. They've called me before for having an outstanding amount, which I paid on the spot - no issues and the account owing on my Paypal account was gone. I owe them money again, so they're trying to call me once again. I've read their terms and conditions, which states that I have up to 120 days to pay off any outstanding amounts myself, which I'm doing in installments. If you answer their calls, they will push you to pay it ALL on the spot.

Caller: PayPal - real It is actually PayPal - i messaged. Securely thru the app and at first she said no they only have this number and no one tried calling me there was no record - but then not long after messaged me and told me yes it was them and gave me his name of who called and the reason why the number is different is that they are from the collections department -(I didn’t realise I had a negative balance ) I still didn’t give out info I just settled it in the app and told PayPal they should let everyone know the number as it’s causing confusion and people thinking it’s a scam

Caller: Paypal Not a scam, it is PayPal. I had overdrawn on my PayPal account and they were just chasing money. I logged into my PayPal accounts to check. All legit.

Calling me multiple times a day but it’s an immediate hang up on their end when I do answer. Blocked number but still getting missed call messages multiple times a day for some reason for the same number.

Caller: PayPal Had 4 missed calls from this number and thought it was probably bupa chasing overdue payment but wasn't sure so hopped on to check and read the comments, sure enough I jumped on to PayPal and I had a negative balance for something I had purchased last week. The call itself is not a scam, but if you suspect you don't owe anything then it could be saying you have overdue negative balance due to someone hacking your paypal or making an account with your details and racking up an amount on there.

Caller: No idea Didn’t answer the call because I didn’t recognise the caller. Although, unlike many others, they left a voicemail. I don’t have a PayPal account. But my ex husband does. And they were asking for him. But my number is not connected to his PayPal. It seems suss but my ex told me he does in fact have a small negative balance. Still very odd that they would be calling me instead.

Caller: Paypal Paypal - my account went into negative which is fixed up but the calls are unrelenting over a few days. As I didn’t know the number I didn't answer. They are very persistent.

Caller: Paypal Not a scam. I had 2 missed calls from this number. I dont answer unknown numbers anymore. Unfortunately they dont leave a message which makes it seem sus. I had a google and saw mixed reviews saying its paypal or a scam. So I logged into paypal and saw I did owe them some money. There was no unusual activity on my account either. So I topped up my account and no further calls. They really should leave a message though. As a lot of people dont answer random calls. But just to be safe if you get this call. Just log into your paypal account and check - you dont have to give the random on the phone any info and you dont have to even answer it. But just check your account as I was in the red and did owe them some money for online purchases I had made.
