PayPal? sending text code for account access.
I don't have a PayPal account.
Optus said it's a scam text.
I hope they are right as I am already a victim of serious legitimate identity fraud

SCAM Scam saying I purchased over $200 in US$ payment on Paypal and gave link to site to download a supposed PayPal app for convenience. No such purchase ever made so didn't download. My Paypal account has this purchase listed as "pending" .

Caller: PayPal

Paypal uses this number to send authorisation codes. Definitely not a scam, not sure why people are saying it is.

Wrong ..papypal security code is on a different number.

Caller: SMS on my mobile supposedly from PayPal saying that at 10:40 today there was unusual activity on from Nigeria on my PayPal account and to ring 1800 411 688 which l did. Spoke to an lndian guy who said he was based in Sydney and he requested my email address and even sent me a code from PayPal to confirm that he was real. Very hard to understand him and when l informed him that l didn’t have a PayPal account things changed and after a brief discussion the call was terminated at his end. He sent the code from 0485 872 975. I have googled searched both phone numbers and it’s a scam for sure

Scam from someone from PayPal

Text message with a PayPal request for 66 cents.

Supposedly from PayPal with OTC. Never received one of these from them, so treating it as suspect.

Not a scam just a text from pay pal sending a security code

Wankers..!!!!

scam purports to be from paypal

Definitely a scam. I checked my PayPal account and this SMS was not sent by PayPal. BEWARE.

I have a PayPal account and received a text message from this number. Funny thing is it was send to my work mobile which is not on record with PayPal.
It looks legit, but it is a scam, even if there is no link. The OTC if you used it would probably have given them access to your account. Be careful.
Yes there was a notification in my inbox on my account and I dealt with it.
Sorry scammers not this time!

Paypal one time verification. Never received one of these out of the blue before. Definitely seems like a scam as it was unsolicited.

Caller: PayPal

I agree with Anonymous 10/01/22. "Easy to check if legit, just log onto your paypal acct. Instructed that additional details were required on my acct. Logged onto paypal and there was indeed a notification to update some of my details. I believe this is a legit paypal notification, however I wouldn't ever supply details via txt."
I DO NOT believe this is a scam or phishing. People saying that it is seem to be just assuming that is.
I logged in to my PayPal via 2 part verification and there WAS a notification confirming txt message. Followed links and it only asked me to confirm date of birth. Then it was all ok.
So, I'd suggest only logging in directly to PayPal via the web site, check for notifications on your "Account" page to confirm txt. But if you don't trust it, fare enough. Your choice. I don't know what happens if you ignore the request.

Got the same text. Blocked and deleted

Number used by PayPal to send out OTC one time verification code number to be entered for Payment authorisation

Caller: pay pal txt saying i need to log in

scam call telling to log in to paypal, ignore it!!

Received a PayPal notification from this number saying the code would expire in 10 minutes, we hadn’t ordered anything...definitely a scam.
