Expert Opinion
Patterns emerging from user reports point to a surge in PayPal‑related scams targeting this number. Callers typically claim a PayPal security code or request a money transfer, then push for app downloads or credential entry. The safest move is to verify any request directly through the official PayPal app or website, never through a link or by phone. Enable 2FA and treat unsolicited codes as suspicious, especially if you weren’t logging in. Block the caller, flag the SMS as spam, and report the incident to your carrier and to PayPal’s fraud team. Staying cautious and double‑checking can stop most scam attempts before they cause damage.

Beware of this number, it's a total scam. I recieved a call today and the person on the other end was trying to sound legit but red flags were waving everywere. Anyone who says this is real needs to get educated on online security ASAP. You're gonna be the ones losing your savings to a 419 scam if you're not carefull.
Dont even think about opening the link in the sms. This is definatly a phishing scam.

Not a good numb, dont trust it
Repeated calls with no one speaking have led me to distrust this number; it's advisable not to answer.
Kevin: PayPal scam alert - dont trust it
Jessica: Got a text from PayPal asking for info - no link, so I assume it's legit, but be carefull
The caller hung up immediately after I answered, which is extremely frustrating.
Initially thought this was a paypal phishing atempt but after verifying with paypal, it seems legit. They were requesting to update my home adress due to some account issue.
Be carefull, somethin seems off about this one
