This appears to be a scam but when we called Paypal to report this, they stated that was a legitimate number. What are your thoughts. I did call the number and was talking to someone from India who stated someone had broken into my paypal account and asked me to download an app on my computer so they could transfer me to the fraud department. I did not do that and hung up on them. I canceled my care
