Number to call in PayPal suspicious payment text message. PayPal confirmed it isn’t from them. Highly likely this is a scam.

Suspicious text from an alternate number (+(832) 466 7980) requesting me to call this number 1800 849 192) as I had a large payment that was being placed under "routine review" in Helsinki Finland. As mentioned in other comments does not match the paypals support number.

Caller: Text Number is clearly a scammer. Along with other reports that 'Paypal said it is not us', it is also NOT Paypal's support number: (02) 8223 9500 (https://www.paypal.com/au/cshelp/contact-us/call-us?entryPoint=contact-us).
