The caller, claiming to be from PayPal, is involved in a phishing scam targeting individuals with unsolicited offers to expand their websites to European markets. The initial pitch includes tempting services like handling foreign currencies and shipping, which may sound legitimate but are designed to lure victims into providing personal information. Some recipients initially responded, believing the call was genuine, only to later confirm with PayPal that it was a scam. PayPal never makes contact via phone in this manner. Key precautions: Always verify suspicious calls directly with the company, avoid clicking on links from unsolicited messages, and block numbers that seem suspicious. Stay vigilant and protect your personal information!
The call was actually a marketing effort from Paypal, rather than a negative interaction.
Upon receiving a call from this Irish number, the individual claimed to represent Paypal and encouraged us to expand our website's reach to the European market using their services, which seemed suspicious. Despite their convincing response when we called back, further research, including a direct call to Paypal's official number, confirmed our suspicions of a scam. We subsequently reported the incident to Paypal
