Someone pretended to be from PayPal Security and tried to verify that I was moving $700 from my account. I wasn’t, and they couldn’t provide any details that would prove it wasn’t a scam.
Scam alert: suspicious PayPal phone request
Summary — +61240723479
Expert Opinion
If you get a call from +61240723479 saying they're from PayPal Security and asking you to confirm a big transfer, it’s almost certainly a scam. Legit PayPal never asks for personal details or payment confirmation over the phone. Hang up, block the number, and report the call to PayPal and your local fraud agency. Never share passwords, OTPs, or banking info with unsolicited callers. Keep an eye on your account for any unauthorized activity and consider enabling two‑factor authentication for extra protection. Stay skeptical of any urgent‑tone requests—verify through official channels only.
