SCAM! FAKE phantom debt collection scam by madarchod criminals phoning from India. This is what the Federal Trade Commission calls a phantom debt collection scam where the scammer pretends to be a bank, often impersonating Chase, Credit One, Comenity, Wells Fargo, Citibank, Bank of America, Capital One, American Express, US Bank, SoFi, PayPal/Venmo, ADT/Vivint (data breaches), fake "AR/HC" names (ARC, A&R, AR Recovery/Resources, ARM Solutions, ARstrat, HC Recovery, Rabinock Recovery), credit union, utility company, debt collector, credit agency, billing department, lawyer, law enforcement, and threatens to sue or arrest you using lies, harassment, and intimidation to collect on fake debts that you do not owe. Debt collection scams are very common because many people carry debts, so it is easy for scammers to phish for gullible victims. And debt collection scams have vastly increased this year to prey upon the larger number of people in debt. The India scammer asks for you by your name in order to sound like a personal phone call to gain your trust, but they are auto-dialing everyone. The scammer may say "I am calling on a recorded line" just to sound official, but it is fake! The scammer either mentions an unpaid debt and past due amount that must be paid immediately or says that they have frozen your account due to fraudulent activity. The scammer then asks for your online banking login credentials, Social Security number and date of birth "for verification purposes", and says you can settle the debt by paying with a credit card, prepaid debit card, or eBay gift card, or demands that you wire transfer the payment, or asks for your bank account/routing number. Or the scammer pretends to offer a "50% settlement" deal where "you only have to pay half" of your fake debt. Many Indian fake debt collector scams also use these same thousands of phone numbers to run many other scams including offers of fake Medicare, health insurance, auto insurance and car warranties, pretend to offer personal/business/payday/VA/student loans, hardship loans, mortgage or home equity loan, debt relief, debt consolidation, and fake tax debt assistance, pretend to be fake fundraisers collecting for various charities but they keep all charity donations for themselves, and they impersonate Google, DirecTV or Comcast. About 62% of North America scam calls come from India, 23% from Philippines, 9% from China/Myanmar. Foreign scammers run thousands of fraud, extortion, money laundering scams every day such as posing as a fake pharmacy, fake Social Security officer saying your benefits are suspended, IRS officer collecting on fake unpaid back taxes, debt collector threatening you for fake unpaid bills, fake bank/financial/FedEx/UPS/DHL scams, posing as utility/phone/internet companies, pretending to offer fake health insurance, car warranty, student loan forgiveness, credit card and debt consolidation services, posing as Amazon to falsely say an unauthorized purchase was made to your credit card, posing as Microsoft/Dell/HP/Apple to say your account has been hacked or they detected a virus on your computer, fake "we are refunding your money" or "your account has been auto-debited" scams, fake Google/Alexa listing scams, fake solar and home purchase offers, fake fundraisers asking for donations, fake phone surveys, and the scammers try to phish your financial and personal data. Indian scammers often rotate through fake tech support, fake auto-renewals/charges, fake pharmacy, many loan and tax/debt relief scams, and fake charity donation scams on the same day. Filipino scammers run many Social Security and Medicare identity theft, and auto/home/health/life insurance scams. Scammers use disposable VoIP phone numbers (e.g. MagicJack) and telecom software to spoof fake names and numbers on Caller ID. Scammers spoof thousands of fake 8xx toll-free numbers. CID is useless with scam calls unless the scam asks you to phone them back. CID area codes are never the origin of scam calls since scams use spoofed CID numbers from across the US/Canada, numbers belonging to unsuspecting people, invalid area codes, and fake foreign country CID numbers; e.g. fake women crying "help me" emergency scams spoof Mexico and Middle East CID numbers. Scammers often spoof the actual name and number of businesses such as banks to trick you into thinking the call is valid. How can you avoid being scammed by phone calls? NEVER trust any unsolicited caller who: sells something (most unsolicited calls are scams so your odds of saving money are very poor); asks for your Medicare or Social Security number; offers debt relief, loan services, Medicare assistance (people who are old or desperate in debt often fall for scams); offers a free gift/reward; threatens you with arrest/lawsuit; asks you to access a website, download a file, wire transfer money or buy prepaid debit/gift cards; claims your account is frozen or has suspicious activity; says a subscription is refunded or auto-renewed/auto-debited; and all recorded messages. Recordings are far more likely to be malicious scams and not just telemarketer spam. All unsolicited callers with foreign accents, usually Indian or Filipino, are mostly scams. No other countries are infested with phone room sweatshops filled with criminals. Most Filipino scammers speak better English than Indian scammers. Filipinos speak English with a subtle accent that may sound Hispanic. To hide their foreign origin, some India scammers use non-Indians in their phone room. Scams often falsely say that you previously contacted them or visited their website. Indian scammers play fake Amazon recordings. Amazon account updates are emailed, not robo-dialed. Many banks use automated fraud alert calls to confirm a suspicious purchase, but always call the number printed on your credit card to verify if the fraud alert is real or fake. Scammers impersonate phone/cable/internet companies, offering fake discounts or service upgrades. Indians impersonate the IRS and Social Security Administration. The IRS/SSA never make unsolicited calls and never threaten to arrest you; they initiate contact via postal mail. Real lawsuits are not phoned in, especially not using recorded threats lacking details; legal notices are mailed/couriered. The police, FBI, DEA never phone to threaten arrest; they show up in person with a warrant. Scammers try to gain your trust by saying your name when they call; your name, address, birthday are public data. Many scammers, especially female Filipinas, use "romance scam" tactics of sounding really friendly as if they are your best friend or lover to try to gain your affection and trust, hoping that you let your guard down so they can easily steal your identity and money. Scammers often play recordings speaking English, Spanish, or Chinese that is easily generated using text-to-speech AI translation software to disguise the origin of their overseas phone room. Some speech synthesis sound robotic, but most AI speech sound very realistic. Scammers often use interactive voice response (IVR) AI/NLP software that combines voice recognition with artificial intelligence, speaks English with American voices, and responds based on your replies. IVR calls begin with: "This is fake_name, I am a fake_job_title on a recorded line, can you hear me okay?"; or "Hi, how are you doing today?"; or "Hello? Are you there?"; or "Hi, may I speak to your_name?" IVR quickly asks you a short question to elicit a yes/no reply so it hangs up if it encounters voicemail. One myth is that saying "yes" to IVR lets scammers use your voice sample for other scams. IVR understands basic replies and yes/no answers. To test for IVR, ask "Is the willy fuzzy box open?" since IVR cannot answer complex/odd questions. IVR usually transfers you to the scammer, but some scams entirely use IVR with the robot asking for your credit card or SSN. Phone/email scams share two common traits: the CID name/number and the "From:" header on emails are easily faked, and the intent of scam calls is malicious just as file attachments and website links on scam emails are harmful. Scams snowball for many victims. If your personal/financial data are stolen, either by being scammed, visiting a malicious website, or by a previous data breach of a business server that stores your data, then your data gets sold by scammers on the dark web who will see you as fresh meat and prey on you even more. This is why some receive 40+ scam calls everyday while others get only 0 to 2 calls per week. If you provide your personal data to a phone scammer, lured by 80%-discounted fake drugs or fake loan and debt services, you receive even more phone scams and identity theft can take years to repair. Scammers often shout profanities at you. Google "Hindi swear words" and memorize some favorites; call him "Rundi Ka Beta" (son of whore) or call her "Rundi Key Betty" (daughter of whore). Scammers ignore the National Do-Not-Call Registry. Asking scammers to stop calling is useless. Scam recordings often tell you to press a keypad number to be placed on their Do-Not-Call list, opt out, or unsubscribe from their scam texts/emails, but those keypad commands are fake and they say that just to sound legit. Scammers often provide a toll-free callback number to look like a real business, but they regularly shed old callback numbers so you can never reach the scammers once you have realized that you were scammed. Scammers tell you their callback number just to gain your trust long enough to steal your identity and money and then they frequently switch to using new callback numbers. You do these scammers a favor by quickly hanging up. YOU SHOULD SCAMBAIT ALL SCAMMERS - slowly drag scammers along on the phone call, provide fake personal and financial data (16 random digits starting with 4 for Visa, 5 for MasterCard), ask them to speak louder and repeat what they said to waste their time and energy.

This IS Paypal Credit. This is the number they call from if you miss a payment. Maybe it is annoying, but it IS legitimate and not SCAM, but it is a robocall.

This is NOT a scam ! It IS, however, a pain in the ass. PayPal credit "reminding" me that a payment is due.

PayPal Scam
April 25, 2020
LEGIT. Because of other comments I thought I was scammed out of personal information, but they are legit! They are Synchrony Bank and they have been calling me about my late PayPal credit payments (which I have) constantly. I finally paid some of it today and I was worried I was scammed and then called PayPal Credit customer service and they informed me the charge went through and the number was their collections. The number is also listed on my monthly PayPal Credit statements so I’m assuming they are legit or these scammer have gone above and beyond to get personal info!
April 22, 2020
PayPal 2 for Synchrony Bank. Fraud. Time to find them and arrest them. With very large fines and prison time.
April 20, 2020

Keeps calling me everyday and leaves an annoying voice to call regarding Paypal's Mastercard through Synchrony Bank. I don't have a credit card through this bank, never did. These calls starting happening ever since I ordered something through Bonanza and needed to go through Paypal to pay for the item. While going through the Paypal process, I had to give my info including my phone number. Never again!
January 9, 2020
This is a legitimate reminder call about Paypal/Synchrony bills. If you are late more than 1 day on a credit card serviced by Paypal (many are, including but not limited to your Amazon Store Card.) If they are calling you it's because you're late on a payment, even a single day late can generate a call. If you are absolutely certain you don't have any cards or store accounts serviced by Paypal/Synchrony then they may just have bad contact info but they are legit, annoying, but legit.
January 3, 2020
This company is actually real and I’m getting upset that they’re blocking the calls that remind me when I miss my credit card bill. They’re not scammers and I’m not sure why they’d be flagged as such.
December 30, 2019
They've called before when my payments were overdue, but lately the calls are just silence or a hangup. They called twice this morning. Both times I said hello and waited at least 10 secs for a response. Silence.
November 15, 2019
someone shut these crooks down
November 14, 2019
some ones has been hounding me via email, phone, and now with a letter using the above phone number to contact them about an overdue balance. they say if i don't pay they "may exercise our rights under law" which sounds pretty vague to me. i am sure it is a scam, but how to stop it?
October 22, 2019
They keep sending emails and texts saying I owe them money and to call them to work it out. I do not use PayPal or Synchrony Bank. Scam. Do not respond. Block and delete.

Spam call
September 28, 2019
Said I had a balance on PayPal Credit and wanted to know how I was going to pay. I told him I don't remember an outstanding balance, so would check my account when I get home and will pay it then. I then ended the call.
September 25, 2019
I get the same message as other people have posted. The caller says they are from Synchrony Bank and they are calling regarding PayPal Credit. They call NUMEROUS times a day. Very irritating. However, it's hard to block them because each time they call they use a different number. How can I stop them from calling?? Seems impossible :(.
September 20, 2019
They call yet never leave a message. I've received multiple calls from this number everyday. They never answer back. Just block the number.
September 16, 2019
I never picked up because my phone said it was like Spam Likely but they have called 4 times in one day! (around 8am,11am,3pm, and 6pm).
September 13, 2019
Received a call from this number at 8:00 in the morning (1st. red flag). Robo voice didn't even bother to identify who was calling (2nd. red flag). Just went through the "If you are ### ###, please press 1 now to put this call on hold to get ### ###. Please press 2 to be connected..." routine so I had no idea who I was dealing with and I certainly wasn't going to be pressing any buttons. I just simply hung up. Total scam.

Paypal - Bank - Scam - They call my home landline at least 5 times each day, for the last 2 weeks. They mention something about PayPal and bank. I know it is fake. I have not found any way to block them yet. I use https://donotcall.gov/ and *77 .

Robocall. Says that they are a bank I have never heard of telling me to put in some number with paypal. When I ask to connect with a real person, the computer just repeats the info. Scam.
July 15, 2019
This number has been calling me 3 to 4 times a day. When I have answered. No one has been there. Blocked it on my phone. They are still trying to call.
July 7, 2019
They have gotten smarter. They now do a recorded call and want you to press numbers. Find a way around that please!!! They have been calling non stop!!
July 3, 2019
I have been receiving at least one Robocall (sometimes 2 or 3) every day for the past week from 330-280-5882 saying to call 844-377-4136 in regards to Paypal credit. I finally called that number and there was a automated message saying they linked my phone number to my paypal account and asked for the last 4 digits of my SS#. I just hung up. Pretty sure this a a scam since I don't even have a Paypal account.
July 1, 2019
I kept getting called from (407)541-6743, but there were never any messages left, so I blocked the number. When it called next, there was a voicemail, and said to call (844)377-4136. It said something about being Synchrony Bank regarding something about PayPal.
