I got a call earlier, someone asking about my life insurance. When I tried to find out where they got my number from, they just hung up on me.

Avoid PayPal at all costs - they really ought to step up their game!

I received an email about a payment request from PayPal that seemed fishy. The number linked to it is definitely dodgy. I'd advise against calling that number. It's best to head over directly to PayPal's site-you might find a suspicious payment request there, but remember not to approve anything! Stay safe!

I received an email that pretended to be from PayPal. Clearly, it’s a dodgy attempt since I don’t even use PayPal with this email address! The message stated, "You've made a payment of £899.99 GBP to ESET NOD32. If you believe this transaction isn't legitimate, please reach out to our customer support at +44-800-058-4174." What a load of nonsense!

Impersonating PayPal is just outrageous! Those foolish individuals attempted to pilfer a hefty sum from my PayPal account.

I got quite a few authentic messages from someone named 'Nena Thompson' through PayPal, all asking for £899 regarding Bitdefender, and they provided this number for 'customer service'. All those requests appeared on my account but have since been removed.

Received an email con that’s playing tricks, claiming you must approve a bogus transaction. You’re faced with a couple of dreadful options: a) Hit the ‘pay now’ button and find yourself fleeced, possibly infecting your device with a nasty virus, leaving your festive season in tatters... or b) Ring the dodgy number, handing over your personal details for future swindles. Best bet? Bin the email straight away, and certainly don't click on any links! Just log into your PayPal account live and flag this scam, as the email appears to come from PayPal itself. They’re gunning for your information to create phoney accounts in your name. Seriously, steer clear of that number!

I’ve just been bombarded with nine requests for £899.99 featuring the name MARY EASTERLING linked to this number. It's crucial to always access your account directly through your browser instead of clicking any links in emails. Make sure to flag this to Paypal as a fraudulent activity!

I recently encountered a similar scam, and I must say, it was rather convincing. They were sending me texts that seemed to confirm some credit card transactions. I've reported the incident to Barclaycard. Initially, I called the number, thinking it was legitimate, and they certainly had a lot of personal information at their disposal. When the caller inquired about other cards that weren’t linked to PayPal, I refused to divulge any details. Soon after, I received a text from Barclaycard requesting confirmation for a transaction. The caller insisted we should cooperate to combat the fraud, but I told him I preferred to discuss it with my bank instead. At that point, he abruptly ended the call.

Beware of a scammer posing as PAYPAL, reportedly an Indian chap, urging you to quickly provide your card details and the last three digits to sort out substantial money requests. It’s vital not to divulge any personal information; instead, reach out to PAYPAL using the contact number listed on their official website. They attempted to withdraw £899 multiple times and then sent a "message" via the PAYPAL app instructing you to ring this dodgy number, attempting to extract various details from you. Should you fall for their trick and share any information, make sure to contact your bank at once. Stay vigilant!

I received a dodgy email supposedly from “LINDA SYKES” regarding a request to approve a payment of £899.99 through PayPal. Seems extremely fishy!

I got a rather dodgy message from someone claiming to be "Joseph Currell" through Paypal, asking for £899 related to Bitdefender. They provided a number for ‘customer support’ too. This was the first time I encountered such a "scam via Paypal", so I decided to reach out to them. Danni, the representative I spoke with, was incredibly supportive and guided me through the process of cancelling the request, which I’ve now successfully done. Joseph Currell... you truly are a piece of work!

Today, I found myself inundated with eight identical emails purporting to be from PayPal, all linked to this particular number. They appear to be legitimate PayPal correspondence, yet it's clear this is a calculated attempt at deception. Here’s a snippet of what one of them said: “Patricia Days has sent you a request for payment. MESSAGE FROM Patricia Days: You are being charged £899.99 GBP by Bit Defender LLC. Should you not recognise this transaction, please reach out to our Customer Service at +44-800-058-4144.” Stay alert, folks! This smells fishy to me.

I got an email purporting to be from "Krystal Cleveland" regarding a PayPal transaction, claiming that I’ve sent £899.99 to Bit Defender LLC. It advised that if this isn’t correct, I should reach out to customer support at +44-800-058-4144. Strange, isn't it?

I've received a flurry of eleven emails from PayPal, all stating that Leigh Grant is requesting money from me. The strangest part? One email claimed I’d sent a hefty payment of £899.99 to Bit Defender LLC. It warned that if I hadn’t authorised this transaction, I should reach out to customer support at +44-800-058-4144. I promptly logged into my PayPal account and found that all those requests were indeed there. I’ve gone ahead and cancelled each one, and I’ve made sure PayPal has been alerted about this.

I’ve also received a rather concerning email regarding a PayPal payment request purporting to be from someone named Jocelyn S Jameson, claiming: “You’ve dispatched a payment of £899.99 to Bit Defender LLC.” What’s really baffling is that the number listed in the email (+44-800-058-4144) is, in fact, the official PayPal customer service line, as per their website. How could scammers possibly find a way to manipulate that? I decided to ring the number, and the chap I spoke to seemed to have a plethora of legitimate information, which made me consider he might genuinely be a PayPal representative. Yet, my instincts were telling me otherwise, so I withheld some of the extra details he requested. I took the precaution of logging into my account myself to change my password and security questions. Naturally, I also dismissed the payment request. It's a bizarre situation; maybe it was a legitimate call from PayPal, and the scammer just aimed to con me into approving the payment without giving it a second thought. The whole exchange felt somewhat off, to say the least. Perhaps it's a touch of paranoia creeping in, but as the saying goes, it’s better to err on the side of caution, don’t you think?

Steer clear of this number! It has nothing to do with PayPal. I received a dubious message asking for a payment of £899.99 to Bit Defender LLC, which I suspect is a scam. I've already cancelled the payment and lodged a report with PayPal using their Assistant. Be cautious out there!

That number you see isn't actually the official Customer Service number for PayPal. It's been cleverly inserted into the message section of the payment request, making it look like a legitimate contact when it's highlighted in the email or the app. It's quite a cunning tactic, I must say. However, the substantial amount they've asked for does raise red flags for anyone with a bit of common sense, warning them that something's off.

I’ve come across a right dodgy operation that seems to be tricking folks into believing they’ve been charged £899.99 for Bit Defender. Some bloke from India picked up when I called. I decided to ring them back over fifty times, demanding a curry and wondering if I could rent an elephant from them! The number’s now been disconnected. Fingers crossed they can't pull their scam on anyone else!

Absolute nonsense what these scammers are up to with PayPal! What a daft move on their part. I reckon they'd have better luck asking for a cheeky £8.99 instead of a whopping £899.00! Just like all the other con artists, but under the guise of Jerry Brown this time. If you find yourself in this pickle, the best course of action is to jump into your PayPal, reject those dodgy transactions, and block the person behind it. And if anyone’s keen on creating some havoc, let’s flood that email address with a mountain of messages!
