07860020438 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 07860020438 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number impersonating PayPal, sending fake texts about bounced emails, PayPal Credit updates, and false payment requests. Messages often include the recipient’s full name and urge recipients to visit fraudulent links or text to opt out, which only confirms active numbers to scammers. Users warn against replying, clicking links, or calling any associated numbers, as genuine PayPal communications do not follow this format and typically come from official shortcodes or verified channels. The scam has been ongoing for years, causing significant concern over privacy and fraud risk. Visitors should block the number, avoid engagement, and report any suspicious PayPal-related communications directly to PayPal through their official website.

7 monthsI checked my real PayPal account and there was no outstanding balance, but I got a call claiming I owed money - total scam. Make sure you stay alert and I’ve already reported it to PayPal.PayPal7 monthsA few hours back, I got a text from this number saying, "Hey! Can I send you a quick message?" Since I didn’t know who it was, I looked it up on Google. Turns out I made the right call not replying, or else it might have turned into constant annoying messages.Google9 monthsGot a call from someone pretending to be PayPal, total phishing scam. Just ignore it and block the number straight away. If you answer, they’ll know your number is live and tied to your real name, which they already use to try and trick you. Definitely best not to engage.9 monthsThis number is still working, just like the others. Got a call asking me to update my email for PayPal Credit which seemed a bit dodgy.

I'm from Lincoln myself. The funny thing is, if it was legit, Paypal would have emailed me and there'd be a notice on their site too. 07860020438 is dodgy for sure.

Seems like this scam has been around for ages, so I'm shocked it’s still happening. This really should be shut down!

The text actually had PayPal written on it.PayPal2 yearsTotally a scam, best not to click or reply at all.2 yearsReceived a dodgy message claiming to be from PayPal, stating that I owe them money. Definitely a scam!PayPal3 yearsScam Hey (name) Fancy grabbing some Black Friday deals? If you have a PayPal Credit account, you can enjoy 0% interest for 4 months on purchases above £99.

Text stop to 07860020438 if you don’t want any more texts like this.HeyFancy3 yearsAbsolute nightmare, those PayPal fraudsters are at it again.3 yearsThink this is a scam, definitely not PayPal. I'm on the TPS list but they keep ringing me anyway. Had to block them and report it.PayPalTPS3 yearsI recently got a text purporting to be from PayPal, and it used my full name as well. It was all about some Black Friday offers and purported ways to save some dosh, all the usual marketing spiel. What's more, there was a clickable number at the end, suggesting I could tap it to opt-out of future messages. I had a quick look at my PayPal account and realised I've never given them the go-ahead for such promotional contact, so it definitely struck me as dodgy. I went ahead and blocked the number and binned the message straight away. I even tried to flag this with PayPal, but couldn’t seem to locate a method to do so. Quite frustrating, really!PayPal3 yearsHi there, We dropped you an email on 7th Nov asking you to finish an Open Banking form so we can review you for a £1000 Credit Limit Raise on PayPal Credit. If you want that increase, please take a look in your inbox and fill out the form. Reply STOP to 07860020438 if you don’t want any more texts.3 yearsSeems like a PayPal scam to me.PayPal3 yearsIts just one of those PayPal scams, with the phone number linked.PayPal4 yearsWatch out, it's a PayPal rip-off!4 yearsGot an email pretending to be from Paypal, saying I needed to opt out of something - total scam!Paypal4 yearsJust got a text message pretending to be from PayPal - total scam!4 yearsTotally a scam.4 yearsThey said they were from Paypal, trying to upsell me on my credit limit.Paypal4 yearsGot a call from 07860020438 claiming to be PayPal, saying they want to chat about raising my credit limit. Seems odd tho cos I've only ever had that sort of notice via email before, so felt a bit dodgy to get a message like this.PayPal5 yearsSaid it was PayPal.PayPal5 yearsGot a text about my PayPal credit limit going up. Don’t reply if u wanna stop it!5 yearsGot a txt from "PayPal" just before my flight today. It said something like, "Important message for ........ Call PayPal on 08005870429 quoting reference ." Problem is, they totally missed including the ref number so I couldn’t quote anything! Real PayPal usually sends from different numbers and definitely don’t make silly errors like that. Pretty obvious scam if you ask me.5 yearsI got a message saying there was a rise in my PayPal Credit. It told me to do some stuff on the PayPal website, but when I tried to do it, none of what they said was right!!5 yearsReceived an email from PayPal saying I can raise my credit limit, but I just brushed it off since I don’t want to increase it. Then today I get a text from some unknown number, pretty much the same message as the email. Makes me wonder how they got that info? Is PayPal passing phone numbers to scammers, or are these idiots just blasting it out to loads of people hoping someone falls for it?PayPal5 yearsI got an email from PayPal saying I could raise my credit limit but I just ignored it since I don’t need it. Then today, I got a text from some private number saying pretty much the same thing. Obviously, it’s scammers, but how do they even know about the email? Is PayPal giving out phone numbers to scammers, or are these scam texts just sent to random people hoping someone will bite?PayPal5 yearsGot a call about increasing my Paypal credit, but turned out to be a fake Paypal phishing email. Reported it straight away.Paypal5 yearsGot a message supposedly from Paypal using my full name saying I have a credit boost ready and to check the link in my PayPal or the email they've sent. Thing is, I never got any email and there’s no link in my account either. Looks like a scam to me so I’m just ignoring it, no way I’m replying with STOP or anything.Paypal5 yearsGot a text claiming to be from PayPal, but it’s 100% a scam. Watch out for these dodgy messages!PayPal5 yearsThat number, +44 7860 020438, says it's from PayPal, but trust me, it’s NOT. Don’t answer, block it straight away and whatever you do, don’t text them back with “STOP”. Just steer clear!5 yearsBeware of the ‘name leaked’ scam! If you reply with 'STOP', it just confirms to them that your number is live and you’re paying attention. Best to ignore those messages completely.5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from PayPal, trying to get my bank details - don’t fall for it and never share your info!PayPal5 yearsGot a text that said: "Important message for FLORINABALASA. Call PayPal at 08005870429 with reference . Lines open 9.99 am to 6.30 pm M-Sa. To opt out text stop to 07860020438" The strange bit is the reference was missing and the way they wrote the days as "M-Sa" felt off. Looks dodgy to me.FLORINABALASAM - Sa5 yearsI got a call from 07860 020438 claiming to be from PayPal. They said there was some problem with my email bouncing back and mentioned something about updates to their terms and conditions. Instead of giving a link, they asked me to get in touch with them if I wanted to stop getting these notifications. Seemed a bit dodgy to me.PayPal5 yearsI just sent a message to update my PayPal credit details. Hopefully, everything goes through without any issues!5 yearsHey, this looks like a dodgy phishing scam pretending to be from PayPal. If you actually have a PayPal account, just log in directly through their website. If you’re already getting emails from PayPal, this message probably isn’t legit at all. Just ignore it, mate.PayPal5 yearsGot a dodgy text claiming to be from PayPal, but legit messages from PayPal only come from 62226. It said something like, “Hi [Your Name], this is PayPal Credit. We tried emailing you on 23/02/2021 but it bounced back. They want you to log in to change your email and check new terms starting 1st April.” The number to reply STOP to was 07860020438. Definitely a scam, don’t click anything or reply!5 yearsGot a text from 07860020438 claiming to be PayPal saying my email bounced back about new credit terms kicking in from 1st April 2021. They want me to log in and update my email address or something. There’s another number they gave, the same one actually, saying if you call it, the messages will stop. Honestly, what a load of rubbish. Just bin it, folks.PayPal5 yearsHey, this is PayPal Credit. Just wanted to let you know we tried emailing you on 22/02/2021 about some updates to your PayPal Credit terms starting 1st April, but the email bounced back. Could you please log in to check and update your email so you don’t miss the changes? If you want to stop these messages, reply STOP to 07860020438.5 yearsGot a text from this number claiming to be Paypal and they even used my full name. I tried replying with STOP to stop the messages but it wouldn’t send at all. Strange and annoying!Paypal5 yearsHey, just a heads up from PayPal Credit. We tried emailing you on 25/02/2021 about updates to your PayPal Credit terms coming into effect on 1st April, but the email bounced back. Could you please log in and update your email and check out the new terms? If you don’t want to get these messages, text STOP to 07860020438.5 yearsGot a text from this number saying I needed to log into my PayPal because of some "bounce back" about terms and conditions or something. They said you could reply stop to opt out, but I didn't bother responding. Instead, I looked up the number on Google and just deleted the message straight away.Google5 years020 438 07860 I got this weird message supposedly from Paypal Credit saying something about a 'bounce back' notification they received. It claimed to be contacting me about changes to their terms and conditions dated 23/02. I checked my deleted emails and found lots from around that time, but nothing from the 23rd itself. They did have my name correct somehow, but honestly, I reckon it's best to just disregard it.Paypal Credit5 yearsI've encountered a text from this number that's clearly a phishing attempt pretending to be PayPal. It's definitely not worth taking any action! I've been inundated with messages from this same sender, going on about email issues and logging in - but honestly, I've checked and my account's fine, with everything in order on the app. Just another pathetic attempt by scammers that’s fallen flat!5 yearsI seriously don't think PayPal would contact you from a personal mobile number. I got a message like this once... It said something like, "Hey JakeCrutchley, PayPal Credit here. We tried to email you on 22/02/2021 about updates to your credit terms starting 1st April, but the email bounced back. Please log in to update your email and check the new terms." Then it gave a number to text STOP to opt out. Definitely felt fishy. I wouldn't reply to it at all.PayPalJakeCrutchley5 yearsThis is a PayPal scam, best to ignore and not answer.5 yearsGot a message supposedly from PayPal with my correct name on it, but they’re telling me to text 'stop' if I want to opt out. Looks a bit fishy to me.PayPal5 yearsGot a text claiming to be from PayPal about a bounceback dated 24th Feb. I’ve sent it over to their investigations team just in case. Feels like a scam to me.PayPal5 yearsGot a text just like the ones described here. They did get my name right but PayPal messages never start with ‘Hi’ without a space (like ‘Hijbloggs’). BEWARE...it’s definitely a SCAM. Don’t respond to it. Just block the number, swipe away and report it straight to PayPal.5 yearsNot sure if this message’s legit, but at least they got my name spot on. I’ll check again from a different gadget later just to be safe. Hello xxxxxxxxxxxx, this is PayPal Credit reaching out. We tried to email you on 24/02/2021 about updates to your PayPal Credit terms effective 1st April, but the email bounced back. Please log into your account to update your email address and see the new terms. If you want to stop getting messages, text STOP to 07860020438.6 yearsGot a text from 07860020438 saying it’s some urgent message for (NAME). It tells you to ring PayPal on 08005870429 and give a reference number. They say their lines are open 9am to 6:30pm Monday to Saturday. There’s an option to text STOP to the same 07860 number to opt out. Honestly, just delete it and mark it as spam. If you actually ring 0800 number, it’s a scam waiting to happen. And if you text STOP to 07860, you’re basically sending them a sign that your number is real and active, which could cause more spam. Really best to just ignore and block it.6 yearsJust got a dodgy text asking for my PayPal info, total scam! Didn’t respond, just bin it straight away. Watch out, don’t fall for it!PayPal6 yearsJust a heads up, got this dodgy message that somehow included our personal info...
