Beware Fraudulent Phishing Calls.

A Natland News Reader writes: Yesterday I had two missed calls from  0800 085 7609 and this morning a call from the same number which left a Voicemail purporting to be from PayPal and asking me to call back on 0800 085 7595. The person I then spoke to (male, Irish accent) said these were both genuine PayPal numbers and wanted to check the bank details which my PayPal account is linked to. He advised me to answer any future calls from the same number. 
The PayPal website gives a contact number starting with 0203 and a OneTimePasscode, without which you can't get through to them. They stated that the 0800 numbers were not PayPal ones.
