Expert Opinion

Calls claiming to be from PayPal often sound convincing but end up asking for personal details. The safest approach is to hang up immediately and never disclose email addresses, passwords or payment information over the phone. Verify any request by contacting PayPal on the official 0800 358 9448 number or through the app, and report the incident to your bank and Action Fraud. Consider using call‑blocking features or third‑party apps to stop repeat numbers, and keep a log of the dates and times for evidence. Remember, personal details should only be shared on a secured PayPal portal, and block any number that persists in demanding information.
