Caller: I don't know

This number has been calling every few days consistently for the past two months. No voicemail left. When I did answer the call, was met with hold music for a minute, and then someone named me and refused to give any information about the reason for their call except for needing to "discuss an important business matter". I did not confirm my name, as they repeatedly asked if they were speaking to *my name*. Do not answer this number, likely phishing for information.

Caller: ARL

I answered the phone and was told ARL ON BEHALF OF PAYPAL so I immediately threatened to murder their entire family and make them watch if they called me again, in rhe very least I hope it ruined their day. Thanks "diversity"

Caller: Credit Corp

Credit Corp - They cannot contact or attempt to contact you More than seven times within a seven-day period, this is law. Take screen dumps of the calls and email to yourself, keep in a folder. Cantact a law authority if they breech that

Called back and went straight to a messaging service ARL and collecting information etc scammer!

Heads up, never answer unsolicited/unknown numbers for your voice is being recorded for identity fraud!

The caller said. my name and asked me to phone ARL on 1300 303 849 and quote ref no. 107245842. I have ignored that call

Caller: Someone PayPal go through apparently

Said they were associated with PayPal. But when I called PayPal, there was no issue

Caller: ARL - Re PayPal

I have received call after call and text messages saying I owe money to PayPal. Logged into PayPal and owe nothing. I contacted PayPal and it urns out that someone has tried opening a business PayPal account in my name and ARL are trying to get to the bottom of it. I would suggest calling PayPal Directly and find out what’s going on.

Caller: (03) 9320 0118

Get this missed call almost every day with no message left. Don't know who they are but I'm not answering.

Caller: ARL

First sms message to say Debt Collector and acting on behalf of PayPal. Phoned today to say same thing. I checked and don't have anything outstanding or debt with PayPal.

Caller: ARL Collections

Seems ARL collections has a contract with PayPal in Australia to collect on outstanding amounts on PayPal accounts. This wasn't to do with my main PayPal account, but one that i hadn't used for a few years. It had one debit from eBay for eBay plus that remained unpaid and put the account in a negative balance, the bank account that was linked was also closed. Have now linked a new account and closed off this paypal account.

6 -7 calls every day. No idea who it is. Blocked the number but text messages keep popping up saying I missed their call

Spam

After reading all other responses about this number I have had several calls and sms from ARL claiming I have a PayPal debt but when I contacted PayPal they told me my account was fine, no issues. I use it all the time. No idea why they keep contacting me. I never answer or respond.

Caller: (03) 9320 0118

Answered phone, music playing, woman spoke and said she was from ARL? on behalf of PayPal. Wanted me to confirm personal information before she could tell me the reason for the call. Sounds like a scam.

Block. It's a scam

Caller: ARL

ACCC guidelines: "We recommend that you do not contact a debtor more than three times per week, or 10 times per month at most (when contact is actually made, as distinct from attempted contact) and only when it is necessary to do so."

That being said, they breach regularly regardless.

Caller: Australian Receivables Ltd (ARL)

They are in breach of ACCC guidelines with permissable contacts per week.

Beware of 2025’s best scam artist.

Scammer or debt collector, take your pick.
