No, it is not a legitimate company. You've been scammed. Cancel your existing PP account NOW! Make a report of fraud to Paypal. If you gave the scammers any other financial account numbers change them! Never give financial information to anyone over the phone. Other sites have reported this number in connection with other numbers which are used by overseas debt scammers.
I called that number out of curiosity. After hours. The first thing you hear is some creepy music. After a while someone will say "hold on while I connect you". When you do get someone, it is a person talking with an Indian or Pakistan accent. These people are nothing but debt scammers. Ignore them and block their calls.
Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you owe it
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1. Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2. Demand a debt validation letter by US mail. E-mail no good.
3. Do not pay the collection agent or anyone else a DIME until the debt is validated.
Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply block their calls and ignore them.
If they are bothering you,
Report them:

Also contact your local attorney general
If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the authorities.
