An Indian call centre demanded I confirm my email and phone number before explaining anything. I hung up, checked my email—nothing there—so I blocked the number after contacting PayPal directly. Good luck.

You’d be shocked to discover that the same spoofed PayPal number keeps popping up across dozens of complaints. These calls never come from official PayPal lines; the company only contacts users via email or its secure app. Never share your email, password, or card digits with anyone who phones you. If you’re unsure, hang up, log into your PayPal account directly, and verify any alerts. Add the number to your phone’s block list, report it to your carrier, and consider using a call‑filtering service. Stay vigilant, keep personal details private, and remember that legitimate businesses won’t demand sensitive information over an unsolicited call.

I called today to inquire about a relative's number, but received no information.
A note simply mentioned PayPal credit.
PayPal called about a missed payment, left a voicemail, and when I checked I was indeed a day overdue. They were likely just reminding me, but I’d still verify via the app before sharing information.
I receive a PayPal reminder when a payment is due a day before my payday; changing the due date has been impossible unless I pay a month in advance.
Warning: this is not PayPal. A man with an Indian accent called, knew my name, and asked to confirm my email. I told him off and hung up, then contacted PayPal who confirmed the call was fraudulent and advised reporting the number.
Assuming it was a delivery, I answered an automated prompt that demanded my birthdate, then I promptly hung up.
A foreign scammer masquerading as PayPal tried to swindle money; after playing along I told him to beat it!
Regarding PayPal Credit.
The fraudsters claimed to represent PayPal and asked for my email; I refused, requested proof, and they sent a message via the app. Still doubtful, I hung up, called PayPal who confirmed they never called, so I changed my password immediately. However, I couldn’t log in through the app and had to use Chrome to reset—it exposed a loophole. PayPal must address this security gap.
A PayPal Credit call discussed my account and requested only an email for confirmation; it appeared legitimate.
A PayPal‑related scam asked for my name, address and email.
Potential fraud.
A caller pretended to be from PayPal, rang our business line and demanded various details we would never disclose; clearly a scam.
Fraudulent.
Looks like a scammer.
A PayPal representative called about a missed PayPal Credit repayment, warning that they might contact you, but the number could be spoofed, so you should avoid giving details and use the app to settle the bill.
Occasionally the digits belong to PayPal, but fraudsters often spoof them to appear authentic during calls.
A woman with an Indian accent claimed to represent PayPal and asked me to verify my email address, saying she had left a message on my account. I told her I’d check and then ended the call.
