A caller pretended to be from PayPal, claiming I couldn’t open the site during the call. He sounded convincing because I’d recently made an overseas transaction, which he said was unauthorized. The giveaway was his excitement when I mentioned a leak and my distrust, and he urged me to email him while I checked my transactions. Thanks to two‑factor authentication, I could verify on the PayPal site while he tried to get my code. Beware.

Expert Opinion
Ever wondered why a call about a 'suspected PayPal transaction' feels off right from the start? These reports point to a classic scam tactic, where fraudsters impersonate trusted services to extract personal details or authentication codes. One user nearly fell for it due to a recent legit transaction, but two-factor authentication and skepticism saved the day—the scammer pushed to bypass security, a huge red flag. Other calls were silent or in foreign languages, typical of automated spam probes. Hang up immediately on unsolicited financial queries; verify directly through official apps or sites. Enable all security features, and report to authorities like the ACCC. Stay vigilant—scammers evolve, but basics like not sharing codes keep you safe.
