Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone else has ever received a text message requesting to confirm if a purchase has been made? Yesterday I used my paypal to shop online and next day I received a text from paypal asking to confirm that was accurate. I’ve never had to confirm anything before so ut seemed really odd. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi @Plambobs,

 

Thank you for your post! I'm sorry that there was any concern. If the security system detects a bit of risk of potential unauthorized activity with a payment, it may send a text to give you a heads up so you have a quick avenue for dispute in the event that the payment wasn't authorized. If the payment was made by you, there's no need to do anything.

 

I hope this helps!
