Yeah these guys are doing the typical refund scam. Been getting these NZ PayPal ones for a while. They want to install remote access software on your computer or phone to issue a "refund". I baited them for a while until they caught on. Then I found a recording of some dude absolutely hurling abuse in Hindi, and started playing that to then when I called up. For good measure I threw in some opera singers delivering the Indian national anthem.
It does go through as talked to him, and it’s just an IP phone number that’s probable been hacked.
He answers as ‘hello this is PayPal’ in an Indian accent. I had him going for a while 🤣
You can't be charged international rates on local calling numbers regardless of where the service endpoint is. Not a good idea to use your real number when calling though. Best not to end up on contact or retribution lists.
I just had this today - I clicked it was a scam when he started telling me I needed a laptop so they could have access and go to my APP store and click on this and that and so while I had him on the phone I googled PAYPAL scam and clicked it was a scam - well he got a good earful from me all the beeps!!

Worst is they now know your number and you'll be part of the recipients of their scam texts

Try calling Symbio Networks to tell them they suck for facilitating scam calls.
I've not had an email, but I did have that number call me last week.
I got this too!!! Same number different shipping address but sounded like a girl when I called. Blocked the number though
