Is it a SCAM when PayPal calls to say I have made a purchase, if it is not true Press 1 now.

I received a call saying your account will be charged $369.00 for an IPad, if this is not the case press 1to speak to a PayPal representative. Does PayPal call to verify a purchase? Is this a scam?

Hi @Beckwood1

 

Welcome to the PayPal Community. Sorry to hear of the concern with a call you received. 

 

PayPal does call to verify if a payment was authorized. We do not have the option to speak with an agent and we do not note what was purchased. This sounds like you received a phishing call

 

I hope this information helps!


Thanks, 
Tricia
