Calls from Paypal Notification scam call by the number +61485872975 - Expert Opinion

The number 0485872975 has been confirmed by tellows users to belong to an SMS notification scam. An individual received a security code allegedly from PayPal in the early hours, a situation that turned out to be a scam. This isn't the first occurrence, as a previous encounter involved receiving a similar security code, leading them to update their details believing it was from PayPal. However, this was a ruse orchestrated by scammers. Unfortunately, this led to discovering unauthorized transactions on their PayPal cards a couple of weeks later. It serves as a reminder to stay cautious of attempts to exploit PayPal's reputation for malicious purposes.

    During the early hours, I got a security code from this number, supposedly from PayPal, while I was asleep. Unfortunately, I learned a lesson the difficult way. A previous instance saw me receiving a similar security code, after which I logged into PayPal and updated my details. However, it turned out the 2FA was sent by a scammer, tricking me into believing it was from PayPal. Two weeks later, I discovered three unauthorized transactions of significant amounts linked to my PayPal cards.

    Text me telling me my payment to them didnt go through. Checked my bank and they did indeed dishonour the payment.
    So if this number is used to scam it is someone on the inside of Paypal. Which isnt that surprising. But yeah it should be pretty straightforward for authorities to clarify parties using the number. Too bad they give 0 fuks, just like the telcos, and will do fuk all to prevent, protect or investigate.

    This is a legitimate Security Code from Pay-Pal, when transferring money.
    PayPal provides 3 options before your transaction takes place : including your email or mobile number.
    (If anyone has received, it may be a warning someone has hacked into their PayPal account, and you should contact PayPal to report.).
