3This phone number is a legitimate landline telephone number. It has been spoofed by scammers!
Was sent an sms by this number saying that my Paypal account has been blocked due to suspicious activity, and if I want to unblock it, I need to call this number +447500936299. I then later checked my account, and it seems like everything is fine. SO clearly they were swishing me.
Said he was from Paypal and someone was trying to use my account. I told him to phone back in half an hour and he tried to stop me. I hung up. No call back.
