I dealt with a fraudulent call centre that pretended to be PayPal, claiming they’d halted a dubious transaction. I kept them on the line for a while to probe their tactics and fed them a slew of bogus information. First they demanded my email, then insisted on a credit‑card number. Afterwards they messaged me from the same number PayPal uses for one‑time verification codes, making the text look authentic if you have prior PayPal messages. I pretended to be an uninformed senior for about 40 minutes, repeatedly asked them to repeat details and supplied test card numbers from the Mastercard Developers site. The scammer grew irate once they realized they’d been duped and hung up in a huff. It turned out to be a surprisingly amusing way to kill time on the train.

Expert Opinion
Verify caller legitimacy before sharing details. This number connects to scammers impersonating PayPal, claiming to halt fraudulent transactions to extract your email, credit card info, and more. They mimic official texts for credibility, but it's all deception. Never provide sensitive data over unsolicited calls—hang up and contact PayPal directly via their app or official site. Use call-blocking apps to filter unknowns, and report to authorities like the ACCC in Australia. Wasting their time with fakes can be fun, but prioritize safety to avoid real risks.
