I have some additional perspective to add. While I did not receive a phone call, I did notice a transaction on my credit card that I did not authorize. It followed 72 minutes after a transaction I did authorize. On my credit card activity, both the auhtorized and unauthorized transaction displayed the above number. While many claim it is a legitimate paypal number, which may very well be true considering it is in official paypal text, phishing scams today do a good job hiding who they are behind the veil of authentic numbers. The scam con artists must know how to hide their true phone number. You are fortunate that you were both asleep and immediately suspicious of the number. Had you answered in a half-awake stupor who knows what information you would have divulged. Please be wary and and practice constant vigilance!
