I've just got the same number on a scam PayPal account for $670Aud. Haven't rung the number as I know it's a scam. They can't get into any of my bank accounts regardless.

I was asked to call this number in an email I was sent saying that I had made a recent purchase on eBay. I did not make any purchase and the email said to call the number if I thought the transaction was fraudulent. The person I spoke to wanted me to log onto my laptop and give him more details to cancel the transaction. When I refused he said that I had no come back if transaction did turn out to be fraudulent. I called him out as the scammer and he hung up.

Yes, received an email to say Amanda Fayette purchased an iPhone 14 Pro under my PayPal email address. Upon calling this number I was told the transaction has been blocked but I had to download zoho_assistcustomer on my phone to cancel my PayPal account. Beware - it is a scam. They called me back from these other numbers 03 9192 4983 and 03 7045 5093.
