I had a call from Paypal noting that there is a potential unauthroised transaction of c. $1,400. I told them I didn't authorise this transaction and I cannot see this activity when I logged in. They asked for my email address to verify my details. I refused to provide this as I'm not sure if this was a scam or not.
Could someone from Paypal please confirm?
