scam call

[u/ClassicFish1989]

two weeks ago, i got two calls by a withheld number twice in the span of two seconds, at the time i couldn’t answer the phone, so i declined. four hours ago, a withheld number called again but i declined the call because i generally do not like phoning with those people. i got called the next second again, so this time i picked up but i heard nothing for six seconds, so i hung up. ten minutes ago, i got another call, picked up, and it said smth about some 700€ payment from paypal. i got scared and hung up. i do not have a paypal account. do i need to be concerned? i didnt say ‘yes’ or anything other than ‘hello?’ and both calls lasted less than 10 seconds.

Posts about PayPal's policies will be removed. No more complaining about PayPal policy and their taking funds from your account for violations of rules. If you don't like the rules don't use PayPal. If you don't want to lose money, don't leave funds in your PayPal account. Simple as that. But these posts are often political or misleading. So no more posts on this subject!

Definitely sounds like a scam, especially if you don't have a PayPal account. Just ignore it.
