Both reports describe callers claiming to represent PayPal and attempting to extract personal information from recipients.

One contributor who answered a call from 0425900067 confirmed the caller explicitly pretended to be from a payment service while requesting personal details.

What Callers from 0425 900 067 Claim

Based on community reports, callers from 0425 900 067 impersonate PayPal representatives. The tactic involves initiating contact and then claiming affiliation with the payment service to gain the recipient's trust before requesting sensitive personal information.

Contributors note that these calls are sophisticated enough to cause concern, particularly because the callers have already obtained phone numbers and are using a recognised payment service name as cover. The impersonation strategy relies on exploiting the familiarity and legitimacy of PayPal's brand to lower recipients' guard before probing for account details, passwords, or payment card information.
