I recieved a letter looking like paypal credit today. It says that I have an outstanding balance of £800 spent last month. We have never had a credit account or made any large purchases. Cant ring them untill tomorrow and I'm worried. Thanks

Hello, Jingleby.

 

It sounds as though you may have received a phishing message, or it's possible someone used your information to create a PayPal Credit account in your name. Both are a definite concern! In either case, however, contacting PayPal Credit directly is the way to proceed.

 

If you haven't already done so, please call 0800 368 7155, Monday to Sunday 8am to 6.30pm (GMT). You can also find more information in the FAQ section at https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/paypal-virtual-credit.

 

I hope this is helpful. Thanks for your patience during this time.

 

Sincerely,

 

Michael
