There's a new paypal phishing scam on the street. Automated call comes in, "this is fraud unit, we've detected password change, press 1 if not you." Then "we are texting you authorization code, please enter it now." They call a half-dozen times in the hope you give up, press 1, then enter the code. You can safely block the number, but they will call the next day with another fake caller id.
