08003683175 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 08003683175 👆 is reported as a sophisticated PayPal scam exploiting genuine-looking payment requests with suspicious notes urging victims to call a specific number. Callers often hear prerecorded messages or speak to individuals who sound professional but use aggressive tactics to extract sensitive information, including bank details and security codes. The scam typically involves large fraudulent payment requests, sometimes from varied names using a common numeric code to track each case. Victims are warned not to call the number or provide personal data, as this leads to phishing attempts and potential account compromise. Instead, users should independently verify transactions by logging directly into their PayPal accounts and cancel any unauthorized requests. Blocking the number and reporting the fraud to PayPal is strongly advised.

3 yearsGreetings to everyone navigating this sea of confusion! Is there any real gold amidst all this fool's gold? I've come across one of the more cunning scams, where they've cleverly sprinkled in a few authentic links alongside the dodgy 'pay now' and 'contact number' options. Kudos to Who-Calls.Me.UK for providing such a fantastic resource. Cheers! RayKudos4 yearsI received a call from a number linked to my PayPal account regarding a transaction of £867.99 from the account named AlmaSparks0077. Instinctively, I didn’t feel comfortable with it, so I reached out to PayPal directly through their official website. They informed me that this was indeed a scam that they were actively investigating, and the number in question was being used by the fraudster, exploiting a legitimate PayPal service for money requests. From what I've seen in other comments, the '0077' after various email aliases seems to be a tactic used by scammers to signify which particular con they're attempting. I was reassured that my PayPal account had remained secure, but they warned me that had I called the number I was provided, I would likely have fallen victim to a phishing attempt. My advice: verify everything and remain sceptical of unknown contacts.PayPal4 yearsBe wary of this number; it’s definitely not a legitimate HMRC contact. I received a voicemail that was clearly automated. The message was alarming, stating they were instigating an arrest warrant for me regarding tax evasion, and urged me to press 1 immediately. Go ahead and block this number without hesitation!HMRC4 yearsI received a call from this number at the crack of dawn, around 8 am on a Monday. The chap on the line had an incredibly thick accent and an awful lot of commotion in the background. He was rattling on at quite a pace, and before I knew it, I unwittingly read out the verification code that had popped up on my phone from PayPal. It only clicked later that this meant he could waltz right in, reset my password, and potentially wreak havoc with my account.PayPal4 yearsReceived a dodgy payment request supposedly from PayPal with the number +44-800-368-3175. It’s under the name MichaelCDusharme0077, and I’m pretty sure it’s all a scam. Stay alert, folks!PayPal4 yearsI got a message that purported to be from PayPal, but I'm convinced it's a scam. Please make sure to halt any transactions and avoid ringing the number listed. Notification sent by Lamarious M Alexander Transaction Reference U-17985984X2376112C Message UNUSUAL ACTIVITY DETECTED IN YOUR ACCOUNT - £899.99 GBP HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN. PLEASE CALL US IMMEDIATELY TO REPORT @ +44-800-368-3175 Summary Amount requested £899.99 Grand Total £899.99PayPalLamarious M AlexanderWITHDRAWN4 yearsI received a call from this number, and it's definitely dodgy-it's connected to a PayPal scam. A woman answered my call, and there were all these artificial call centre sounds going on behind her. She insisted on knowing which bank I was associated with. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour! Steer clear of this number and under no circumstances should you divulge any personal details to them.4 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be from PayPal. When I inquired about how to confirm the authenticity of the call or spot any potential scams, they went silent for a moment before abruptly disconnecting. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!PayPal4 yearsHad a rather dodgy experience that nearly caught me off guard. I received an email that looked like it was genuinely from PayPal, which had me momentarily concerned. When I called the number they provided, their act was quite convincing. They almost managed to swipe my cash until they asked for my three-digit security code under the pretext of tracing some hackers. That was my cue to wise up and tell them to bugger off!PayPal4 yearsI spotted this phone number tucked away in the notes of a PayPal request for funds from Julian Pesina - [email protected]. It seems they expect you to ring the number, assuming it’s a genuine call from PayPal, to give the go-ahead for the transfer. I didn’t make the call and promptly cancelled the transaction instead. “ALERT: UNUSUAL ACTIVITY DETECTED IN YOUR ACCOUNT. £899.99 GBP HAS BEEN TAKEN. PLEASE CALL US IMMEDIATELY ON +44-800-368-3175 TO REPORT.”Julian PesinaPayPalALERT4 yearsI stumbled upon a phone number tucked away in the notes section of a PayPal money request purportedly from Sharra Lester - [email protected]. The message read: "UNUSUAL ACTIVITY DETECTED IN YOUR ACCOUNT. £899.99 HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN. PLEASE RING US IMMEDIATELY TO REPORT AT +44-800-368-3175." I would strongly recommend cancelling the transaction on PayPal. It smells very much like a scam.Sharra LesterWITHDRAWN4 yearsI've stumbled upon a rather dubious Paypal con that's evidently targeted at current users. In my particular instance, it seems to be connected to an individual named Trae Williams. This fradulent email was sent from [email protected], demanding hefty amounts of cash from my account. Please, steer clear of that phone number and refrain from divulging any personal details whatsoever. I've made attempts to alert Paypal, but it's proving to be quite the challenge!PaypalTrae Williams4 yearsI received a PayPal money request that appeared to be from a legitimate email address. However, I've realised that it's very easy for anyone to send a request if they have the right email details. I foolishly tried calling the number listed, but there was no response. After that, I thought it'd be wise to investigate further, hence my presence here. What a classic scam, using PayPal’s name to trick unsuspecting folks!PayPal4 yearsI didn’t receive a call, but I nearly gave in to the temptation of ringing a number mentioned in a PayPal request I found. The message was from someone named Standifer Ellason E., warning me of “SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY FOUND IN YOUR ACCOUNT” and stating that a hefty sum of £899.99 had been deducted. They urged me to “CALL US IMMEDIATELY TO REPORT @ +44-800-368-3175.” Rather than picking up the phone, I opted to log into my PayPal account instead. There, I discovered I could easily manage the transaction-either proceed with the payment or cancel it. Obviously, I chose the latter and put a stop to it.Standifer Ellason E.4 yearsI experienced the same issue. I attempted to ring the number, but it seems to be disconnected now, which is a relief - at least there's some action happening. I recommend cancelling the transaction through PayPal instead.PayPal4 yearsIt's just as mentioned. A full-on scam. Make sure to head over to your PayPal account independently and cancel that payment request.PayPal4 yearsI received an email purportedly from 'PayPal' regarding some dodgy activity. It appears that someone named Richard Cecil attempted to make three separate requests for the sum of £899.99. I’ve since found out that this number is no longer in service. Naturally, I've refused all payment requests and made sure to block the individual.PayPalRichard Cecil4 yearsI received an email purporting to be from 'PayPal', and it seemed quite authentic as it came from a legitimate PayPal address, requesting a payment of £899.99. Feeling concerned, I rang the number provided and spoke to a woman who claimed to represent PayPal. Strangely, she knew my home address and the details of my bank card. When she asked for the three-digit security code on the back of one of my cards, I chose not to provide it. Her tone turned rather confrontational, which prompted me to hang up, realising that she wasn’t affiliated with PayPal at all. It’s a rather sophisticated scam, and I’d consider myself fairly astute when it comes to these sorts of things. Do not engage with that number. Best to cancel the payment request and block it. Although it appeared genuinely within my PayPal app, it was a clever ruse.PayPalSubmit Your Own Report (0800 368 3175)
