Security code received without taking any action

[giyoshi]

In the beginning, I got a 6 digit security code from PayPal and it said don't share the code. (I didn't request to change a password or anything)

After a few minutes, I got a phone call from PayPal saying something like "Did you request to change your password? Press 1 if on and 2 if yes." I pressed 1 and they ask me to input the 6 digit security code. I hang up due to the fact that I think this might be a phishing phone call. They called the number that I used it a few years ago whereas the number in Paypal has already been updated.

It was sooooo annoying because they keep making this phone call and trying to get the six digit security code and I kept hanging up. I hang up for about 13 times if my calculation was right. This is soooooooo annoying.
