Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, the calls from 855‑522‑6612 try to masquerade as PayPal alerts. The pattern across reports shows phishing texts and emails that reference bogus purchases or orders, often pushing you to call back or click a link. Always compare the number with the one listed on PayPal’s official website before replying, and never share account details with unsolicited callers. Delete suspicious messages, block the inbound number, and report the incident to the FTC or your email provider. Staying skeptical and confirming through trusted channels are the fastest ways to dodge this scam.
