Got a text message stating last chance to stop escalation of personal business matter - so called the number as this was first message ever received, they asked me to confirm personal details, when I asked what it was regarding they said either confirm personal information or they will take me to court - seriously, take me to court, I don't have any clear what this is about.

Caller: Debt Collector Received this text today:
“Please contact ARL on 1300 303 849 OR reply CALLME. We are now offering a reduced balance offer on Ref DN102853405. This offer is valid for the next 48hours.”
Called the number and spoke to a guy who asked me what my full name was, residential address and email. I gave him the details but he had a different address and email on file. He asked if I had lived anywhere else and if I had another email, I answered no to both. He asked if I was ‘sure’, to which I said yes. He told me to contact PayPal to discuss further but I told him I don’t have a PayPal account. Ended the call.

Caller: ARL I get texts every few days and calls from a private number. I yelled at one of them as I'm sick and tired of their bull£$it crap. I don't even have a PayPal account. I hope some poor naive person doesn't not get scammed from these a-holes. Texts look ok real but for goodness sakes if it was urgent a proper call would be put out. Makes you question every call/text you get these days

Caller: ARL Two text messages, the first requesting I call them, the second 'warning' me I had to pay to stop matter escalating. Now, a letter requesting payment of $593.10. I did become overdrawn on my PayPal account, but this was rectified many weeks ago. I was contacted yesterday by My heritage...who I paid using PayPal for a DNA test last year. My heritage informed me that hackers had stolen the PayPal details of a very large number of clients, including mine, and this is obviously where this scam comes from, as I owe PayPal nothing. Beware!

Received a very legitimate looking text message that read "Please contact Australian Receivables Ltd regarding an urgent business matter on 1300 303 849 or reply CALLME. Quote Ref DN105414357". Lucky I googled this before I replied. Definately beware of these people!

This company is a subcontractor for PayPal. I didn’t realise my account was in the negative. It had bee for about 2 months. Then I got quite a few SMS from ARL saying we tried to call you and call us back. However, because I never had any missed calls I thought this was a hoax and never called them. Then I received a litter in the mail from ARL saying they a debt collectors for PayPal. I still didn’t reply to them because I have since rectified the negative balance with PayPal.

I received a call from a private number, and when I asked who ARL is, was told they're acting on PayPal's behalf. To identify me, the caller asked for my login email which I didn't give her, explaining that I do not provide personal details to callers from unlisted numbers, and requested a reference number and their phone number - this one. When I called, I was transferred three times with a message that each voice mailbox is full, or that the extension doesn't use the service(?) I checked my Paypal account, and it's in the positive, although, about a week ago it was in the minus $49.00. I checked the company details at ASIC (they have been registered since 2003), and I checked their website at WhoIs - definitely a legitimate company, however, with highly questionable operating procedures. Two Victorian women took legal action against them in 2012 for harassment.

I received this text and called them. they are collections. The number is real, apparently I owe money to paypal. I had a negative on my account about a week ago and i paid money to it. After i received this text I looked online to see what the hell it was about. i LOGGED into my paypal account before I called them and I am on a positive balance. So I called them, taking on the info i have read here and when i spoke to the "account manager" apparently i had to provide my address and email address. Which I refused to give them without even being told how much i apparently owe, I grilled the chick on the phone to find out what it is. I gave her my surname and she asked if i was known by a nickname..I advised her (the call apparently is recorded) that I have read the text, I went on the internet to check my paypal and i DO NOT owe anything (still not aware why she called) and located some feedback regarding this text and contact number and I advised i will NOT provide her my personal details as there is no proof this is legit.. and basically hung up!
Im sick of these scam calls I am recieving from different places almost daily! I have put my number in the list do not call list and its only gotten worse!!!!!!

I bought a new sim card and number and received a text three days after it was connected. So I know it's not anything to do with me. The text advises it is my last chance to stop escalation of a personal business matter. It gives a reference number and 1300 number.
