Phone number ☎️ 02079493186 👆 is reported as a frequently calling number linked to PayPal pay-in-3 payment reminders by some users, but many others call it a scam with suspicious voicemails from an Irish-accented woman reciting the number and no clear reason given.

Got a call from PayPal about a missed Pay in 3 installment, quite annoyed honestly. Didn’t expect them to ring up directly for that. Thought automatic reminders would do the job. Bit frustrating, really.

I didn’t answer the call at first, I decided to look it up online like everyone else seemed to have done, especially since it said it was from Paypal which seemed a bit dodgy. Instead of picking up I just went straight to my paypal account and checked, turns out I did have a payment due in 3 instalments. So I sorted it out through the app. If you’re worried about calls like this, it’s probably best not to pick up, but definitely log into your paypal yourself to see if there’s anything waiting. I’m really glad I checked because it actually was legit!

I got a call from someone saying they were PayPal, asking me about payments and whether I had a direct debit set up. Seemed legit at first, but not 100% sure if it was really them.

Beware of this one. I noticed some suspicious charges on my PayPal from a company whose website doesn’t seem to exist anymore. Over the last three months, three separate 'Pay in 3' payments totalling more than £180 appeared, all supposedly for shoes. I alerted my bank and got my money back, but the weirdest part is the constant calls from this number. Whenever I answer, it’s just an Irish woman leaving the phone number over and over with no explanation or message. Very strange!

That PayPal call seems dodgy to me. I reckon it’s just some scam, so better to ignore it and stay clear. Don’t get caught up in it!

Got a call from a lady with an Indian accent saying she was from PayPal. Honestly, I wouldn’t trust her one bit!

Got a weird call claiming to be PayPal, but luckily I have call screening, so they had to say who they were first. They didn’t mention any reason for calling, just dropped a number and wanted me to ring back. The person sounded like a woman with an Irish accent, but the voice was kinda mechanical, so I reckon it might’ve been some AI voice message. I’d just block it - if PayPal really needs to contact me, they’d email me from their legit email address, no doubt about it.

I’ve blocked these numbers loads of times but they just keep ringing me back. They leave voicemails that say the number over and over and then say thanks, but never actually say who they are or what they want. Proper annoying.

This number 207-949-3186 rings me up daily. I never pick up and they end up leaving a voicemail but it’s just the number again and a thanks. They never say where they’re calling from which is pretty annoying.

Got a call from 0209495845 but ignored it cos my phone flagged it as possible scam. Later, a message from a woman with an Irish accent played, but it sounded a bit robotic. She kept saying something about 02079493186, no clear info on who she was or where she’s from. I blocked the number, yet they keep ringing and leaving the same weird message. I reckon it’s dodgy, especially when the caller ID is showing as 02079495845. Definitely not trusting this one.

I phoned PayPal on their 0800 free number to double check, and they told me this isn’t them. Definitely a scam call trying to fish for your info. Don’t trust this number!

Just want to give a heads up to everyone - this is definitely a SCAM. If you see anyone posting good reviews, they’re probably involved with the group running this con, trying to spread the same story. Don’t be fooled. You can tell by the similar wording and repeated narrative. I got a call from a woman with an Irish accent who told me to ring her back but never explained why, and that immediately gave me a bad feeling.

Received a rather dubious call today from an unfamiliar number: 020334671768. An Irish lady left a voice message claiming to be from PayPal, instructing me to return the call to another number: 02079493186. I’ve taken the precaution of blocking these numbers and reporting them on this site, but I won't be ringing back. If PayPal really needs to reach me, they'll send a letter or an email instead of relying solely on phone calls. I’d strongly advise others to steer clear of contacting them as well. I'm also quite convinced that PayPal employs various representatives from Ireland...

This is definitely not an authentic PayPal call (I’ve confirmed with PayPal themselves). Although I do possess a PayPal account, I haven’t set up any ‘pay in instalments’ arrangements, which is precisely why I took the time to verify. A few weeks back, I blocked their number, yet they persist in ringing, with daily calls still landing on my voicemail and leaving only snippets of messages. It’s quite vexing, to say the least!

This isn't a legitimate PayPal call (I confirmed it with PayPal directly). I do have a PayPal account, but I've never set up any 'pay in instalments' option, which prompted me to investigate further. I actually blocked their number a couple of weeks ago, yet they persistently ring me daily, leaving incomplete messages on my voicemail. It's incredibly frustrating!

Looks like this number is being used by scammers pretending to be PayPal. I got a call on my home phone from a woman with an Irish accent who slowly repeated this number, then hung up straight away without leaving any voicemail. How can I tell it’s fake? Because PayPal doesn’t have my landline on file. It’s shocking how much the British lose to these cons - over £800 million yearly. Watch out and stay alert!

Received a call supposedly from PayPal, but it raised my suspicions almost immediately. They requested my email, and when I declined, the tone shifted dramatically, sounding rather irate. They insisted it was just an email needed, not sensitive banking info. Then, bizarrely, they told me to respond to their email and ring them back. Although the email read as PayPal.com, a little click revealed that it was anything but genuine. This is definitely not someone to be trusted!

like loads of others here, it was a woman with an irish accent, just leaving the phone number. no clue who she was or why she was calling. no “call me back” or anything like that. i reckon why so many folks get just the number on their voicemail is coz the caller planned an automated message explaining who they were and to ring back. but whoever set it up didn’t think about the voicemail, so it starts spouting that nonsense the second you pick up. if it’s paypal, they seriously need to sort themselves out.
