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.

Ekspertvurdering
Sen eftermiddag i en travl hverdag ringede nummeret igen, og det viser sig at være et klassisk svindelopsætning. De fleste rapporter peger på falske PayPal-repræsentanter, der kræver personlige oplysninger som e-mail eller kortdetaljer under påskud af kontoopdateringer eller lån. Nogle brugere nævner irske eller indiske accent, men PayPal bekræfter officielt, at de ikke ringer for at bede om sådanne detaljer – alt sker via app eller e-mail. Bloker nummeret øjeblikkeligt, og ring aldrig tilbage. Tjek din konto direkte på PayPals officielle side for at sikre dig. Hvis du har givet info, kontakt banken med det samme for at stoppe eventuelle transaktioner. Hold øje med uventede opkald, og brug spam-apps til beskyttelse. Det er irriterende, men ved at ignorere dem undgår du problemer.

Assuming it was a delivery, I answered an automated prompt that demanded my birthdate, then I promptly hung up.

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.

Fraudulent.
Looks like a scammer.

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.
