Hi
I've just made a purchase on Curry's website using PayPal Credit. Shortly after I received a text message from PayPal saying it is marked suspicious and I need to reply with "1" to authorise the payment. I am with Sky Mobile and unfortunately they do not support short code text messages so every time I reply to the message it fails.
How can I authorise this payment?
Thanks
Dan

I just got the same text message "PayPal Security Alert: Did you sign into your account at <time> <date>? If yes reply Y. If no, reply N. Msg & Data rates apply." right after I made a PayPal payment online. Since the timing between purchase and SMS is very close, I guess it comes from PayPal but I don't know if any spyware on my phone detected it. There is no info on PaylPal website about SMS being sent out after payment.
