Reports on phone number 62226
10 daysGot a call from a number claiming it was about a PayPal transaction, but when I checked, there wasn’t any PayPal account linked to it. Bit worrying, if you ask me.4 monthsI got tricked by a message coming from 62226 claiming to be from Paypal. When I spoke to EE about it, they just brushed it off saying it’s not their issue. I’ve also reached out to Paypal to try and get some answers. I told EE to block all incoming SMS from Paypal numbers, but I’m not even sure if that'll actually help stop these texts.PaypalEE5 monthsYesterday I received a text saying there was a problem with my latest bill, and it told me to go to idmobile.adjust-network.com/verify or else my service would be restricted. About a year back, I was sent a PayPal verification code out of the blue. Definitely looks like a phishing attempt to me.5 monthsJust got a message saying an account from John Lewis was opened with my bank details, and it had a phone number to ring back. I called my bank first and they told me it was a scam. Watch out, any number linked to those texts might be premium rate!John Lewis5 months62 226 This number is linked to both a PayPal fraud and a Binance rip-off. Stay clear!5 monthsGot a text from Binance on this number saying to call 01156612467 if I hadn’t set up 2FA. Oddly, this phone used to be a real PayPal contact, or at least that’s what I recall.Binance5 monthsGot a message from Binance saying a new device was registered on my account, which I didn’t recognise. Immediately blocked it and reported the whole thing as a scam.Binance5 monthsI got a text from 62226 saying I linked my Coinbase API to Ledger Live. Thing is, I didn’t do anything like that. The message said if it wasn’t me, ring +442080725003. Just a heads up, don’t bother calling that number - it’s definitely a scam.CoinbaseLedger Live5 monthsGot a call from someone pretending to be Binance, kept sending me verification codes and gave a number to ring back. I’m pretty sure it’s one of those reverse charge scams. Be careful and don’t get caught out!5 monthsI got a weird call supposedly about PayPal 2FA codes, but now it looks like they’re up to scamming people. Just had one from “Binance” with a dodgy number to ring back. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.5 monthsGot a call pretending to be PayPal, wanted me to click on some link - I just ignored it and blocked the number straight away. Funny thing is, I don’t even use PayPal nowadays.PayPal2 yearsThis number is totally legit, it’s from PayPal.PayPal2 yearsLooks like a phishing attempt! Best to not respond.3 yearsI got the PayPal app from the play store and it asked me to put in my card number, which I did along with the expiry date, but when it came to the security code for my banking app, I didn’t enter that. I just closed the app and deleted it afterwards, but now I’m kinda worried about it all.Play Store3 yearsJust got a PayPay code for account verification.PayPal3 yearsGot a message from PayPal about my payment in 3 days.PayPal3 yearsdefinitely one of those paypal ones.PayPal4 yearsGot a text from PayPal about my “Pay in 3” plan, saying I owe £166.67 and the first payment is due on 16/01/23. It also says I can text STOP if I want to opt out of these reminders. This number is legit and is used by PayPal for alerts like this and for sending verification codes, so no worries there.PayPal4 yearsIt's definitely PayPal. If you weren’t waiting for a message from them, it might mean someone’s trying to get into your account.4 yearsChecked it out4 yearsI got a text from 62226 with a security code for PayPal but I never requested one.4 yearsI asked for a security code to be sent via text when logging into my PayPal account, and the SMS with the verification code arrived for real.4 yearsGot a legit PayPal code via text after asking for a security SMS when I logged into my account.4 yearsI got a message from PayPal saying I missed a payment of £174.17 in 3 instalments, but I never bought anything like that. There were a few other weird ones too. One even showed up with a payment of £12 that I actually made. Be really careful with these, it’s probs a scam. Always keep track of what you pay and when so you don’t get caught out.PayPal4 yearsStopped a PayPal scam, thank god.4 yearsGot a random PayPal verification code out of nowhere, wasn’t even trying to buy anything. Had a look at my recent PayPal activity and there’s nothing unusual, so I guess the two-factor authentication is doing its job.4 yearsGot a strange PayPal code from this number, just didn’t bother replying.5 yearsI got a code from PayPal for two-factor auth after some unusual login attempts. But annoyingly they sent it through a premium rate number which really seems dodgy. Normally they use a different line for this kind of thing. Whether you think it’s a scam or not, that number is definitely linked to PayPal. I’d recommend ringing their customer support to sort it out, try to use a freephone number if you hunt one down.5 years62226 is the number PayPal use to send their 2fa texts. My phone company won’t refund me for the charges from PayPal when I get these codes for legit purchases. PayPal just won’t deal with it, saying it’s the mobile network’s fault. But I dont pay for the 2fa texts from PayPal. On top of that, PayPal doesn’t seem bothered about the spam texts coming from 62226, leaving us customers to sort it out.PayPal5 yearsGot a premium text charge from PayPal for code 62226, really annoying.PayPal5 yearsGot a text from 62226 sayin it was my PayPal security code ---- but it expires in 10 mins. Total scam. PayPal never asks for a code like that by text.5 yearsI received a message from this number, 62226, indicating that I have a parcel from Royal Mail set to arrive tomorrow.Royal Mail5 yearsGot a money request on PayPal from a Nas Khan, no clue who that is. Thinkin' it’s a scam, gonna report it to PayPal asap!Nas Khan5 yearsJust got a text saying there's a problem with the address on my PayPal account. Thing is, I don’t even have a PayPal account! Seems dodgy to me.5 yearsGot a legit text from PayPal after paying the first part of a ‘Pay in 3’ deal. I had a look at the purchase details on my PayPal and also got an email saying the same. When you buy something like this, you can choose if you want the text or not.PayPal5 yearsFraud alert! Absolutely DO NOT press that link.5 yearsWatch out for this number, it’s a total PayPal scam!5 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be PayPal, total scam.5 yearsGot a message around 1 in the morning, said it was from PayPal. Was fast asleep till the next day so only saw it then, had to look it up here to check if it was legit.PayPal5 yearsI never pick up calls from unknown numbers - always look them up on “WHO CALLED ME” and then just block them straight away.5 yearsGot a text saying it was from PayPal - total scam for sure. Don’t bother replying, just block the number straight away!PayPal5 yearsReceived a text from 62226 saying it was a PayPal confirmation. My phone bill got 13p added and the number shows up as 08081202341. Be careful with this as it could end up costing you a lot if you keep it going too long. Looks like PayPal has started this as a way to make money, but dont reply or ring back.6 yearsI received a text with a code for a paypal payment, but I dont even use paypal. Don’t press any links or use any codes, it’s prob a scam! After that some money disappeared from my bank :( I didn’t tap on any links at all! Be careful out there everyone!!!6 yearsGot a text saying "Your last bill is unpaid. To stop extra charges or your line being cut off, update your details security02[###]." No clue what it’s about, probably a scam - just ignored it.6 yearsGot a message from 62226 saying "Your service has been blocked because of suspicious activity. Go to resolution-centre-ref839[###]/?p-4 to fix it." The bit from resolution-centre to p-4 looked like a website link. Since my phone calls were still working fine, I figured this was likely a scam.6 yearsI got a message from 62226 with a code to enter on the PayPal site. Then, some months after, they sent another text saying my services were blocked because of unusual activity and gave a link. I didn’t click it, decided to check online and pretty sure it’s a scam.6 yearsMy missus got a message from 62 226 claiming her account and services were blocked because of some suspicious activity. It told her to check out pp-resolution-centre02[###]/?p=4 to sort it out. Looks like a dodgy PayPal scam cos she doesn’t even use PayPal. We’ve blocked the number and flagged it to Vodafone already.Vodafone6 yearsJust got a message from 62226 sayin my account was blocked becus of unusual activity, no more info though. It had a link to click to 'unblock' it. Obviously, it’s a phishing scam so I’ve reported it to my phone company and blocked the number straight away.6 years62226 just messaged me sayin my PayPal account got blocked coz of suspicious activity. Don’t click the link they sent, it’s definitely a scam!DON6 yearsTotal scam, just rambling on about some made-up car crash.6 yearsGot a dodgy text pretending to be from PayPal, trying to steal info. Totally a scam.6 yearsGot a text from 62226 saying my PayPal account is gonna be locked unless I reply (and it’d cost me!). Thing is, I don’t even have a PayPal account! Total scam attempt for sure!6 yearsGot a text saying "Your account and services are restricted because of strange activity. Head over to [url] to remove the restriction." Pretty clear it's a scam, though I’m sure a few folks might get tricked by it.6 yearsGot a call from this number saying there was a block on my account but never said which one and told me to get in touch with the Resolution Centre. I just ignored it.6 yearsPretty clear scam message pretending your account and services are locked, and then they send a dodgy link trying to nab your personal info.6 yearsGot a classic phishing message saying my ‘account and services’ are on hold with a link to check it out. DO NOT PRESS THE LINK.6 yearsJust got a text from 62226 saying "A block has been placed on your account & services because of unusual activity. Go to resolution-centre-idxxxxxxxxx to remove the block." Had a look at my PayPal and nothing unusual there - looks like a scam to me. I didn’t follow the link and will just delete the message.PayPal6 yearsGot a message from 62222 about some activity on my Paypal. Feels a bit dodgy, could be a scam.6 yearsI got a message saying my paypal was being charged £1300 and to reply with yes or no if it was right. I think this is a scam trying to charge me for any text I send back to 62226.6 years62226 - scammers pretending to be from PayPal. I checked with PayPal and they confirmed they never sent me any texts. I'm sorting this out with both PayPal support and Trainline because it looks like there's some sort of security breach going on.PayPal6 yearsGot a text from 62226 saying it was from PayPal but when I rang PayPal they said it’s not from them at all. They told me not to click on any links or options and just to delete it straight away.PayPal6 yearsI got a text from 62226 claiming it was from PayPay, but I rang up PayPal to check and they said it wasn’t from them at all. They told me not to click any links or respond to the message, just to chuck it straight in the bin.PayPayPayPal6 yearsGot a legit message from Paypal, so cheers for the link though. I had a look at my Premium Message settings and it’s set to let me send texts, so not really sure what the issue is here.PayPal6 yearsGot a text from PayPal 62226 about confirming a transaction or it’ll get cancelled but my messages just won’t send. Tried switching premium texts on and off, even upped my spending limit, but still nothing’s working.PayPal6 yearsI bought something online and then got a text telling me to reply to 62226 (supposedly PayPal) saying if I didn't respond the payment wouldn’t go through. I tried replying but my messages wouldn’t send, like twice. So I looked up 62226 and found this site saying it’s a scam and a premium rate number. I asked PayPal and they said they didn’t send any texts. I also checked my phone bill and no extra charges yet!! Fingers crossed I don’t get charged since my replies didn’t go through. What a dodgy scam!PayPal6 yearsGot a message from 62226 saying my PayPal account would expire in 10 minutes - luckily they gave a code to save my account. Obviously just deleted the text straight away.6 yearsI got a message from 62226 saying it was Paypal asking me to verify a payment I supposedly made earlier that day. Was about to reply, but just as I was about to send, I got another message warning me about a charge, so I held back. Tried ringing Paypal’s customer support but it was useless, all automated. They said their lines were closed due to the coronavirus, which felt like a poor excuse. I think I’ll just pretend I never got their text and wait to see what goes on. Cheers, Disappointed Dave.PayPal6 yearsThis number belongs to PayPal UK and they use it for all kinds of verification texts, not only for sketchy transactions or phone checks. When I texted them, I got a reply saying the transaction was approved. Still, the payment had already been processed when I sent the message.PayPal UK6 yearsGot a text saying money had been sent, and the name was familiar to me.6 yearsIf you text back STOP or STOP ALL to PayPal 72226 it actually ends up costing you more as the message is still charged!PayPal6 yearsSCAM ALERT, do not answer or click any links!!!6 yearsHad no clue this was one of those premium numbers for replying to PayPall, but luckily I keep my phone set to block any charges outside my plan, so the message wouldn’t go through. Would recommend others to do the same. The payment still went through fine without the text confirmation. Why on earth does PayPall make it so complicated??PayPal6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be PayPal, asking me to say yes or no to verify a payment. Turns out it's a scam and you get charged for the reply message. Watch out!7 yearsGot a text from PayPal as well. Ended up having to pay just to respond.PayPal7 yearsI bought an E scooter using PayPal and now I keep getting these texts asking me to confirm if I really made the purchase.7 yearsI bought an E scooter using PayPal and I keep getting this message asking me to confirm if I made the purchase. It says something like: [PayPal] Did you pay $99.00 USD to Donald Palmerjr on 4 January 2020? Please reply 1 for yes or 2 for no. [Response required]PayPalDonald Palmerjr7 yearsThey claimed it was paypal, but I’ve never got a message from them on this number before. Still, it was actually legit since I use the two-factor authentication. Though, someone has definitely spent money from my paypal without me authorising it.PayPal7 yearsSays they’re from Paypal. I tried to text 'em back but the message wouldn’t send. If it's truly Paypal and they wanna check a payment, they should just do it through the Paypal app, no need for this.PayPal7 yearsTurns out its PayPal. But they want me to pay 13p just to verify I've done a payment. No way I’m replying back again!!PayPal7 yearsGot a message saying: [PayPal] Did you send £3.58 GBP to ?????????? on 21st November 2019? Reply 1 for yes, 2 for no. [Reply required] What freaked me out is that I actually paid that exact sum today! Definitely some scammer pretending to be Paypal. Best to not respond.PayPal7 yearsIt was just PayPal checking on a payment, nothing suspicious. Just a quick verification call.PayPal7 yearsI ain't got PayPal, sounds like a dodgy scam where someone faked the text message number or summat.7 yearsWhether it’s PayPal or not, I keep getting codes sent from these numbers telling me to put them into my PayPal account. Feels like scammers are using these numbers along with PayPal to trick people. How can we tell which messages are legit? Honestly, PayPal really needs to rethink how they do two-factor authentication.PayPal7 yearsGot three messages from this number all within like an hour. Tried replying but none of my texts would go through. I've reached out to PayPal via email to report these annoying messages.PayPal7 yearsIf this is on the up and up, then why the secrecy surrounding your identity?7 yearsGot a text from 62226 saying it's from PayPal. If you reply, it costs 13p - that’s not included in free text bundles on my phone, so watch out. They say it’s for extra security or something!7 yearsweird that paypal doesnt list a phone number for me to callPayPal7 yearsReally strange. I don’t have a PayPal account but got three messages all within four minutes.7 yearsGot a message from +62 22 6 earlier today pretending to be paypal saying there was a login attempt on my account. The link sends you to a dodgy paypal site with bogus buttons, looking to trick you into putting in your card info and personal data.+ 62 22 6PayPal7 yearsYup, it’s definitely PayPal’s two-factor verification. The annoying bit is it’s charged as a premium text and cost me 40p!PayPal7 yearsThat’s definitely Paypal. They use that number to check if any transactions look dodgy and also for the text message security codes you can switch on in your Account Settings. People shouldn’t be spreading wrong info. If you got a text from that number and you didn’t buy anything, it’s not a scam trying to steal your info. You really should just update your PayPal password.7 yearsGot a message about some PayPal payment for 48.99 EUR. Said to reply 1 if I was making the payment or 2 if not. Total dodgy scam, I changed my password straight away.PayPal7 yearsSounds like a scammer and definitely not from PayPal.PayPal8 yearsGot a text saying my account was locked since someone tried logging in three times. My phone didn't show who sent it. The link was to a fake PayPal login page that asked for my username and password but wasn’t secure. Classic phishing scam trying to steal your card details.8 years62226 showed up on my Three mobile bill as a premium text charged at 10p. Could’ve been any other amount really. I don’t think it’s PayPal though. If it’s a scam, they’re probably counting on the small 10p charge so most won’t bother to complain. But seeing as there’s been over 7,000 searches for this number, that’s a cool £700 for them. And if this site’s seen 7000 searches, the real figure is likely at least ten times more.8 yearsThis is the legit PayPal number they use for sending verification codes through SMS, part of their two factor authentication setup. The phone actually displays PayPal as the caller ID. Sharing this here because I got a dodgy looking text about a transaction from this number and was asked to reply back.8 yearsSent some money to a mate via Paypal and then got a message from 62226 saying there was a dodgy transaction on my account. The payment went through fine with no issues, but I still switched my Paypal password just to be on the safe side.8 yearsGot a message stating "Paypal A -£xxx.xx GBP transaction with [seller] on [date] flagged as suspicious. Reply '1' if you approve or '2' if you don’t." I sent back 1 (amount, seller, and date matched perfectly). Then they replied "Thanks for confirming. This transaction will be authorised." Seems alright to me, likely from PayPal. If some random scammer knew all those details, I'd have bigger problems! Going to rate it neutral.PayPal8 yearsIt showed up as PayPal and mentioned the correct transaction amount. I didn’t reply to the message and just ignored it. Ended up having to change passwords for a few of my other accounts anyway.PayPal8 yearsIt matched a payment I'd done before, so I looked it up and saw it was from PayPal, I texted back 1 to verify it was legit. Now I’ve come across this info and I’m proper angry. I’ve blocked the number and switched my password. This and a few other dodgy things have gone on ever since my Ticketmaster account got hacked 😡PayPalSubmit Your Own Report (62226)
