Must Be A Scam, New One On Me.

E-mail saying paypal need my phone number confirming.

Ignored the link of course and logged into my paypal account, could not see anywhere to update phone number ??

I am sure your phone number does not have to be in your paypal account.

To meet new regulations, Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) is being added into the PayPal login.

This means that when you login or pay with PayPal, you may be asked for a one-time code that we send via SMS to the phone number you have registered in your profile.

To keep using your PayPal account without interruption, please check that the phone number in your profile is correct.

I received it too Not a scam. Just log into Paypal and update your details

^yes, they require a contact number.

I just logged in to my PayPal account and found that my phone number did need confirming. Two factor authentication is a great security feature and you really should activate it.

[SparklyKid]

Cheers folks, where do I find where to confirm phone No. ?

[Canary42]

It is a scam in the sense that SCA is a thinly disguised effort to increase mobile 'phone sales to the thousands of folk who don't possess one. We are now ruled by Corporate Interests.

Just click the settings cog, Sparkly. You'll see it further down the page

Canary, if you don't have a mobile phone you can use an authenticator app on your tablet or desktop pc. My guess is that if you are using PayPal you have a computer or tablet connected to the internet.

[SparklyKid]

Ta Barry, got it and my current mobile No. is there, cheers.

Canary: spot on, pal. People (no names, no pack-drill, but LOOK around you) really believe that "All is for the best in the best of possible worlds".

Trouble is, Voltaire was writing a very subtle satire on the stupidity that surrounded him... plus ca change.

Canary is not 'spot on'. You don't need a mobile phone for 2FA

[bhg481]

barry is right - it says "phone number" and a landline will do.

[allenlondon]

Voltaire was spot on, and he didn't even have a landline.
