08000857608 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08000857608 👆 is reported as a number frequently associated with calls claiming to be from PayPal about negative account balances. User experiences vary widely; some confirm legitimate PayPal debt collection calls, noting precise account details without requests for sensitive data, while many others warn of persistent scam attempts requesting personal information like email addresses or card details, often from suspicious accents or automated messages. PayPal officially states they do not request such data over the phone, commonly contacting customers via email or app notifications. Due to frequent reports of harassment, silence during calls, or requests to return calls on different numbers, caution is advised. New visitors should verify any PayPal communication independently through official channels and never disclose personal information by phone. Blocking the number and reporting suspicious calls is recommended.

Got a call from one 0800 number but the voicemail left mentioned a totally different 0800 number. Just a heads up, PayPal doesn’t ask for any personal details over the phone.

Got a call from someone claiming to be Paypal warning about a negative balance on my account. If you get one and don’t want to pick up, maybe just have a quick look at your balance online to be safe.

Honestly, this ain’t no scam call from PayPal. It’s really them ringing, maybe cause your balance is negative or you’re late on one of those 3-way payments! I see loads of people saying it’s a scam and it just cracks me up 😂. PayPal - their number is totally legit.

I got a call from this number pretending to be from PayPal, saying there was an issue with my account. They wanted my email, but I didn’t share it since PayPal wouldn’t normally ring up and ask for that kind of info. My account balance was negative, which I was fully aware of. I’ve got up to three months to sort it out, and just needed a bit more time to clear what I owe. Felt like a total scam to me. I’ll be looking into this properly sometime soon.

This number’s been a right pain, keeps bothering us. We got hit once before with a Paypal hacking scam, so I’m pretty sure it’s connected. Stay alert folks!

Got a phone call from a guy who had a strong Indian accent and already seemed to know some personal stuff about me. He wanted me to verify my email address. I’m not trying to be offensive, but his way of talking and accent just threw up red flags right away, so I quickly ended the call without sharing anything. Later on, I logged into my PayPal, and weirdly, it was showing a negative balance. I’m not 100% sure if this number’s legit or not, but honestly, it’s better to be cautious - if you get a call from this number, make sure to check your account balance!

Got a call from someone pretending to be PayPal, telling me to confirm my email by clicking a link they sent. I never got any real emails, and my PayPal account is working fine with no problems. When I asked what email they were talking about, they just kept telling me to “click the link” without giving an answer. I checked with PayPal myself afterwards, and all’s good. Don’t fall for it - don’t click any links or give out your info. It’s definitely a scam.

I got a call from PayPal about my account being overdrawn, and honestly, it wasn’t some scam at all. Pretty sure folks should just keep an eye on their bank stuff instead of freaking out. You don’t even need to pick up, just log in and have a look yourself. Honestly, some people are so quick to judge!

Pretty sure it was PayPal. I had a direct debit fail before, and usually when that happens I just pay up and they try the DD again, so I didn't worry this time. But this time they didn't retry it. My bad really, but sorted it all out through the PayPal app. No need to hand over any details on the phone, which is good because they know people are suspicious. If you ring them, it’s just an automated line. So yeah, it really is PayPal.

Got a call from this number today, and at first, I thought it might be a legit business. But it turned out to be some dodgy telemarketer trying to sell me stuff I didn’t ask for. Pretty annoying to get these calls out of the blue. Be careful if they ring you too!

Honestly, this is totally PayPal calling, not sure why folks act like it’s some random number. If your PayPal account is in the red, it’s obvious why they’d try to get hold of you. People really do be clueless sometimes. You don’t have to pick up every single call though. Just make sure you sort out the negative balance when you can, but don’t pretend like there won’t be calls chasing you about it 🤨

Got a call claiming I owed PayPal money, they said my balance was going down every time I said I’d look it up on my app. They wanted my bank card details. I just said I’d check and then ended the call. Sounds like a classic scam to me.

I just got a call supposedly from PayPal telling me I owe money because of a refund or something. They want you to pay off a negative balance. If you get this sort of call, best thing is to log into your actual PayPal account and see if anything’s wrong. No need to chat with the caller if you don’t feel like it.

I’ve tried ringing back a few times, but it keeps going to their voicemail. Each time, there’s just some weird silent message telling me to call a different number, without saying who they are or why they’re ringing me. It really feels a bit dodgy, like something’s not right here...

Got a voicemail from this number where someone just listed a bunch of random digits. When I rang them back, the caller claimed to be from PayPal and asked me for the last four digits on my bank card. I double-checked by using PayPal's official "call me" 2FA option, and the number that came up was totally different. Definite scam alert - PayPal never asks for your card details like that over the phone to confirm your account.

They called me twice over the last couple days. The call kept cutting out and was really bad quality. The person on the line didn’t say who they were, just asked me to call back. Both my landline and mobile are on the TPS list. The voice sounded like an Indian lady. I’ve decided to block the number on my phone now.

They called me once then the call just cut off.

Got a missed call on my landline from 08000857608. I phoned them back from my mobile but hid my number. A recorded voice thanked me for contacting PayPal, then claimed the 08000857608 wasn’t a valid number and told me to ring a ‘ten digit number linked to my PayPal account’ - whatever that means. I didn’t bother. My PayPal account is in good standing with no money owed. I reckon this is a scam, and those who think it’s a legit PayPal call due to a negative balance are just mistaken or falling for the trick.

This automated lady keeps asking me to ring a different number, but that's all she says. The phone doesn't even ring properly, it just switches straight to voicemail. I've blocked the number and reported it to O2, but no luck so far. They can leave me like 5 voicemails a day with the same boring message over and over again, telling me to call back.

Got a call today from a nice lady, sounded like she might’ve been Indian or maybe American. She asked me for my email to check something. After seeing some comments here mentioning PayPal accounts with negative balances, I was a bit wary. I gave her my email and she started explaining that my balance was a bit low and told me some stuff about it. She didn’t really ask for anything else, but did say that PayPal accounts aren’t supposed to stay in the red for too long!

This group calls folks about owing money on their Paypal, it’s not some dodgy scam lol. I mean, come on... who else but YOU and Paypal would know you’ve got a negative balance? Weird how loads of people say it’s a scam yet they admit they do have a negative balance. Haven’t heard anyone with a positive balance getting these calls. A scammer wouldn’t know who owes money or not, would they?

Definitely no way is this PayPal! The voicemail hadn’t even finished and they already started saying “And that number again is 08000857608”. It’s totally a scam. I’ve blocked the number now. Since this site has no way to verify, I reckon the good reviews are just fake, probably from the scammers themselves. Absolutely not PayPal, and it’s shocking BT let them get hold of a freephone number like this.

They rang me yesterday morning at 8 and again this morning around 9.30, but I didn't answer either time. They did leave a voicemail though, but it was just some random digits. I've got a negative amount on my PayPal like lots of others say, but if this was really from PayPal, why wouldn't they leave a clear message?
