Scam - Phone call saying my gift card purchase of $500 is being processed

Hello.  Does Paypal call people for potential fraud issues?  I received an automated phone call saying that my $500 gift card purchase (I think they said kind, like Amazon or something) is being processed; press 1 to speak to a representative if I did not make this purchase, otherwise it will be processed.  I immediately looked up my account, and I don't see any such transaction.  I figured this was a scam when I received the call, but just wanted to ask.  Thank you.
