Calls from PayPal Security Team.
I have received a call from someone at Paypal over the last two days, saying there has been suspicious activity on my account, when I tell them I haven't used my account, they sent me a code via text, that I have to repeat back to them. Is this normal?

No, hang up. Hope you did not do what they told you to do. That’s how they hack your account. Check your account. Change your pswd, add 2FA, add security questions.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
