Is 888-742-6257 a scam or spam call?
Received bogus claim of some fraud using a PayPal account that doesn't exist for the email address they cited.
Got an email from a relatively decent fake message allegedly via Paypal suggesting that there was a possible fraudulent transaction from my Paypal account. They used this 888 number as the supposed way to reach their Billing Dept. on the matter. I didn't respond as nothing seemed legit other than the graphics used for the message. Clearly it was a bogus email and this 888 number is equally bogus as applied to Paypal.

Just got an email purporting to informing me of a possible fraudulent charge to my PayPal account. Had this phone number listed to report it if I didn't recognize the charge.
