Re: Missed personal call from PayPal?

Hi David,   Thank you for your reply. As it happens I was not at home when I initiated the purchase - I was at work. I was logged into my account with the website I was shopping on though, and did select "pay by PayPal" at the checkout [at which point I was redirected to the PayPal website as always - to log in and confirm the purchase].   I checked the email receipt of my order confirmation which was sent at 5.03pm, roughly the same time I got the [missed] phone call.   It would seem that your explanation for the call does ring true. Do you think I will be personally contacted again before I contact customer services directly?   Thanks. ... View more

Missed personal call from PayPal?

I got a missed call from the following number (Removed by Moderator) last Friday [8th June]. I was at work so couldn't take the call, but they didn't leave a voicemail so I wasn't notified I'd even missed the call until browsing through my call log today.   I put the number into google and a lot of forum posts came up saying it's PayPal calling to confirm account figures. Some also said it was a scam and closed their account.   I don't know what to do because, although I did make a payment VIA PayPal on 8th June, I have never been contacted by PayPal personally before. The number is +1, therefore an international number and would cost a fortune to return.   Should I ring back or wait for them to call me again? Is it even PayPal trying to contact me??! Should I write them an email about this?   Any feedback is most welcome 🙂 ... View more

I got a similar email, stating a 3 month Skype phone subscription for £18. I did click "cancel payment" but when I was redirected to another site, I got a warning saying "this is a forged website" with two buttons, one of which had something to do with "forgery" and the other said "get me out of here" - which I did click, and it took me back to my Mozilla homepage. I then ran a full computer scan and update [results came back clear] and having read this thread, changed my password for PayPal. I have the webpage in my history and have tried googling it but to no avail. Unfortunately I can't remember if the warning was a pop-up or if the webpage had the warning as content... which is a bit suspicious. Anyone else have something similar happen? ... View more
