Phone Number: (408) 376-7400
Caller ID: Campell, CA
I don't answer it the phone. The voice mail left only says, "If you are expecting this call, press 9." What is this and why are they calling my cell phone?
I verified this number by calling Paypal. The Paypal Security guy said that it is a valid phone number for eBay.
When I checked my Paypal balance at 3:00 in the morning, somehow it triggered the system to call me and verify something.
This is logical. I got two calls this morning and assumed that someone was trying to access my eBay account using the "I forgot my password" process. eBay calls the phone number on record for the account as a last attempt to confirm ownership. Since I wasn't accessing my account, I figured that someone else was trying to do so.
It also makes sense that fraudulent users would attempt to conceal their identity with bogus numbers (which could be YOUR number, MY number, etc.) and eBay is, once again, just trying to confirm the identity of the seller. If it's not genuine, it doesn't pass.
Bottom line, while it may be annoying to get an unsolicited phone call, it may be an indication that someone is trying to hack your eBay account *OR* someone is using your phone number. Either way, don't blame eBay... they are just trying to keep control on fraud.
