The caller claimed to be from Visa/Mastercard, saying I had requested a $900 gift‑card purchase via PayPal and asked me to press 1 or 2 to confirm legitimacy. I hung up because it felt off and will contact PayPal and my card issuer to verify. DO NOT TRUST this call.
Fake Visa/Mastercard call warns of gift‑card scam!

Expert Opinion
Sounds like a classic card‑fraud scam. They pretend to be Visa or Mastercard and try to pressure you into buying gift cards through PayPal – a red flag every time. Never give personal or payment info over the phone, especially if they ask you to choose a number to “verify” a transaction. Hang up, block the number, and report the call to your bank and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. If you’re unsure about a charge, log into your PayPal or card account directly, not through a caller‑provided link. Stay skeptical and protect your details.
