Appears to be a PayPal‑pretending scam; the number doesn’t match official contacts. I forwarded it to PayPal and was told to delete it – includes a free‑phone 08083040424.
Unexpected PayPal Ring?
Summary — +448083040424
Expert Opinion
In the quiet hours of an evening in London, a call from this number raises red flags as it mimics PayPal but uses an unrelated contact. Such tactics are common in phishing attempts, where scammers impersonate trusted brands to extract personal details or prompt urgent actions. Hang up immediately if you receive unsolicited calls claiming affiliation with financial services—legitimate companies like PayPal rarely cold-call for verification. Forward suspicious details to the real organisation and report to Action Fraud. Enable call blocking on your device and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service to cut down on unwanted calls. Stay vigilant to safeguard your accounts.
