These reports were submitted by community members.
Scammer tried to convince me he was PayPal security and wanted to tell me my account was hacked. Hung up as I know it wasn't because I don't have PayPal.
Indian Alex Wilson from PayPal Security called me to say that there were fraudulent charges on my account. He asked for my name and I said "if you are calling me, you should have these details"
He claimed he wasn't allowed to say my name out loud for privacy reasons.
Aside from the fact I could hear yelling in the background of what seemed to be a noisy call centre, this call had scam written all over it.
Answered call as was expecting one. Male caller claiming to be from.
PayPal had an indian accent. Asked if I had made any large bitcoin purchases today or knew anyone that did using my account as there were purchases made in 2 other countries using my pay pal.
Account. The guy was clearly a scammer as I haven't bought any bitcoins and could see my pay pal account had no charges.
Told him good try scammer and hung up and I blocked his number.
Male caller. Indian accent. Echoing sound as if he was calling from in a toilet block.
Said his name was Alex Wilson from PayPal Security Team. Apparently my PayPal account had been compromised by hackers who had purchased Bitcoin using my PayPal account. He wanted to help me recover these costs and help me get my money back. Funnily enough, I have never used PayPal in my life, so don't have an account. I really didn't have time to entertain this scammer so hung up on him.
Indian male calling himself "Alex Wilson"
(Noisy call centre) said he was from PayPal and there were suspicious charges on my PayPal account which he wanted to discuss.
Ok, so I don't have a PayPal account so knew immediately to be a scam.
Hung up and blocked.
Just as an aside - why do all the scammers that have indian accents have the last name "Wilson"? Seems every single scammer who has called me has Wilson as a surname!
Phone call at 6:45 PM on a Friday night - dinner time.
Noisy call centre noise.
Indian male.
Claimed to be Alex from PayPal Security.
Alex claimed there were fraudulent charges on my PayPal account which had been flagged.
Asked me if I had recently made any bitcoin purchases using PayPal as there were several transactions that looked suspicious.
Told him none that I was aware of (pretending to be concerned however was more annoyed that my dinner was getting cold as I know I don't use PayPal anymore and don't believe my account has been active in years).
I told him the line was a bit distorted and asked if I could call him back (as I know scammers don't like that). He told me he could hear me perfectly, to which I then pretended as though I couldn't hear him by constantly saying "hello, are you there?" for about a minute before I got bored and hung up, blocking number.
SCAM!
