Claimed to be PayPal, holding a transaction from a device they didn’t recognise. Number isn’t listed anywhere on PayPal website.

Caller: sent a text claimed to be from PayPal holding a transaction from a device they didn’t recognise. Number isn’t listed anywhere on PayPal website. I checked my PayPal account and there was no such alert.

Got the same SMS on 2nd May claiming to be PayPal and suspending a payment of $799.99 as it was from an unfamiliar device. Obviously a scam. Forwarded to Scam Message Forwarding and to PayPal.

Caller: “pay pal” some random email messaged me also telling me that someone’s trying to spend like $800 on my pay pal account and told me to call this number to fix it. it’s a scam, not pay pal :)
