A call arrived on my landline at 1.35 am; the first ring dropped as soon as I answered, and the second delivered a recorded message posing as eBay, instructing me to press one for a security code. Assuming it was fraudulent, I blocked the number. Later, an email arrived at 1.32 am containing a security code valid for fifteen minutes, despite me not requesting a password reset. A third call attempt was also blocked. I’m treating this as a scam attempt and will verify with eBay.
eBay Verification Call: Legit or Scam?
Summary — +447537151739
Expert Opinion
Reports overwhelmingly link this number to eBay's verification process, where automated calls deliver security codes for account access after login attempts or password resets. Yet a minority of experiences flag potential misuse, like unsolicited calls at odd hours or prompts to press buttons, which could signal scammers hijacking the legitimate channel to phish for details. Two-factor authentication remains a solid safeguard, but always cross-check via eBay's official app or site rather than responding blindly. Block and report suspicious activity to your provider; if in doubt, contact eBay directly to verify any request. Staying vigilant prevents account takeovers without dismissing genuine services.
