Paypal does not post their telephone number on this forum HOWEVER scammers do and whilst when they are spotted the threads are removed unfortunately some slip through.
The only way to get the GENUINE paypal number is to click help / contact bottom of paypal pages and use the 'call us' option.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Same thing happened to me and I’m so mad @ myself that money I’ve save so hard for college and now they took it but they promised me a refund through the whole process but they keep delaying it saying miss there’s an issue and keep demanding for payment but only through google play cards. They claim to be from yahoo tech support and I’ve believed them CSU’s Will was the one who called them
