08000584142 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08000584142 👆 is reported as a sophisticated scam targeting PayPal users, involving fraudulent payment requests for substantial amounts, often citing well-known security software companies. Victims receive convincing emails and see pending transactions in their genuine PayPal accounts, prompting calls to a fake support number. These calls aim to extract sensitive financial details. PayPal has acknowledged the issue, advising users to cancel any suspicious requests directly through their official website without engaging with provided links or phone numbers.

This scam also impersonates other organisations like Santander and HMRC, using threatening messages about payments or tax fraud to create urgency and fear. Vigilance is essential to prevent falling victim to this ongoing fraud.

Got a couple of texts from this firm claiming to be Santander saying there was a payment due, both times for over £1500. They included a phone number to ring if the info wasn’t right. Felt a bit dodgy to me.

Just like the original comment, I’m curious if Paypal has taken any action on this yet? Seems like something they should sort out.

I got a dodgy call claiming to be from HMRC, sounding rather threatening. Definitely a scam!

I’ve received a rather suspicious message alleging that there’s a fraudulent tax claim associated with my name, instructing me to press 1 to get in touch with my HMRC representative. Straight into the blocked numbers list with that one!

Total scam alert! Got an email that looked just like it was from PayPal, which freaked me out because there was a payment request for £899 showing up in my actual PayPal account. This all happened yesterday, December 15th. I live in Amsterdam, so obviously this is some kind of international con. Seriously, don’t click any links or call the number they gave you. The email I got was basically the same as the very first example posted here.

I just got a message saying I paid £899.99 to ESET NOD32. I didn’t make this payment! If anyone else got the same, you should probably call their support at +44-800-058-4270 to sort this out. Definitely looks like something fishy going on!

This morning I received an email saying "£899. 99 GBP to ESET NOD32" - pretty sure it was a total scam.

Got a dodgy email pretending to be from PayPal with the subject "You've got a money request." The email looked legit at first, but then it included a fake fraud alert telling me to ring a number to sort things out. Something like: NOTE FROM <random_name>: You've Sent a Payment of £899.99 GBP to Bit Defender LLC. If This Transaction Is Not Yours Please Contact Our Support @ +44-800-058-4142 Payment request info Transaction ID - <random_detail> Transaction date - 15 December 2022 Amount requested - £899.99 GBP Turns out, if you ring that number, they try to trick you into giving your PayPal or bank info so they can nick your money. Proper scam alert!

Somebody rang claiming to be from Paypal, sounded proper dodgy to me. They were trying to get my details but I wasn’t having any of it. Glad I checked the number out here first!

I got the same thing. They said I already paid but then sent me a payment request right after, which was pretty confusing :)

Just got a call like that too, seems like someone’s out there trying to collect donations for Christmas this time of year.

I've got a pending request on my actual PayPal account just like this. I figured if I rang the number or clicked on any links, something dodgy might happen. Eventually, I managed to speak to someone legit at PayPal, who said they were aware of the calls and had added a warning on my account. They told me I could either deny the request online or just ignore it and it would automatically cancel after 30 days. I decided to leave it alone and let it time out.

Got a message from someone named Victor Ramirez asking for money. The note said I’d supposedly sent £899.99 to Bit Defender LLC. It also included a number to call +44 800 058 4142 if I didn’t recognise the transaction. Definitely looks dodgy to me, watch out!

Got the same email earlier today and noticed in my PayPal that the payment was stuck on pending, showing a choice to either pay or cancel. I obviously went for cancel and then rang PayPal on a proper number to check. They told me it was definitely a scam and assured me no money will be taken if I cancel it.

I just got a message saying I transferred £899.99 to Bit Defender LLC but I didn’t do anything like that. If you didn’t make this payment, ring their support at +44-800-058-4142 straight away. Looks like a big scam so don’t pay anything and just ignore it!

Got a call from someone claiming they were PayPal, but it was totally a scam. Be careful, it’s just spam trying to trick you!

Yeah, I got an email just like that with the exact same sum too. The thing that’s got me worried is that this one actually came from a real PayPal email address.

I just got a call from this Ahmed Mohamed fella, but it’s actually some sort of payment REQUEST pretending to be a PAYMENT. They want you to hand over money, and it’s way too easy to do with just one click. Be careful!

Oh yeah, this is one of those emails pretending to be from PayPal trying to scam you. If it says they've asked for money from your PayPal, just log into your actual PayPal account and cancel it there. Never click any links in the email itself or ring any numbers they give you - it’s all dodgy.

Scam alert! I found the number connected to 11 different payments on my PayPal, had to cancel every single one. It's worrying how this keeps happening. You’d think PayPal would step in and block the first payment right away, but nope!

What a rubbish try at scamming someone!
