Someone claimed to be from PayPal, saying I attempted a $700‑plus transfer to a US account for medical reasons and needed to authorize it. I hadn’t, so I checked the app, changed my password, and saw no charges.
Fake PayPal Alert: $700 Transfer Scam?
Summary — +64211297569
Expert Opinion
Caution is essential with unsolicited calls claiming account issues. This scenario points to a classic phishing attempt, where scammers pose as trusted entities to extract authorization or personal details. The fabricated story of an unauthorized $700 transfer to a vague 'Mr. John' for medical reasons is a red flag—legitimate companies like financial services never demand immediate phone confirmations for such matters. You handled it wisely by verifying through the official app, spotting the logout anomaly, and securing your password. Always ignore pressure tactics and contact the company directly via known channels. Enable two-factor authentication and monitor for suspicious activity. Report to authorities to help track these fraudsters.
