Hi @beatleb,

 

Welcome to our Community!

 

You were correct ignoring the text message. This is not a genuine message. For the US  PayPal, the short code is 729725, so the SMS will show as being sent from 729725 when it is genuine. 

 

Thanks

I've also received a robocall about paypall deducting money from my account, but mine was for $299.00, press 1 or 2 also.  I just blocked them, but this isn't the first time I've received the calls.
