SCAM from telephone number in Denmark

[MCDK1971]

I have just received a phone call from a number in DK. It was an automatic voice telling me that:

"there were made a withdrawel from my PayPal account of DKK 2.000. To talked to Customer service about this, press 1."

I hung up the phone call immediately.

I checked my PayPal account and nothing has happened (yet)

If its a spoof then NEVER USE ANY LINK OR ANY PHONE NUMBER.

Firstly if they addressed you as ''Dear Member'' / ''Customer'' / ''Client'' OR your ''email address'' then that confirms its a spoof as paypal would address you by your full name eg Dear John Smith.

Secondly if there was a link OR attachment in that email/text to ''cancel'' any transaction or ''confirm'' any details then again it would be a spoof.

Also if they ask you to call the number in the call or email then it would be fake paypal agents trying to scam you for money to 'fix' something. 

If there was a problem with your account Paypal would not ask you to click on an unsafe link in an email / download an attachment OR phone them on a number in an email, they would direct you to log in normally and go to the resolution or the message centre for more information.

The same thing happened to me a few moments ago. Though the amount they wanted from me was only DKK 1.000
