PayPay: Official SMS Senders & Numbers - Is That SMS Genuine?

No official statement on SMS usage

Do they send SMS? (Official statements)

PayPay does not publish sender numbers, but provides an official reporting form for impersonating emails/SMS and continuously publishes scam warnings.

Officially published senders

No official sender (number or display name) list is published.

No official SMS sender-number list is published.

Conversely, a message showing a listed name or number is NOT necessarily genuine: SMS sender displays can be spoofed. The safest approach is to avoid links in the message and check directly via the official app or a bookmarked official website.

Key points from official statements

  • PayPay's security page provides an official form to report phishing sites and impersonating emails/SMS.
  • PayPay warns of fake billing messages in its name; check unexpected charges in the official app, not via links.
  • Refunds never require the buyer to send money, pay, or enter codes in the app. Such instructions are scams.

Legitimate domains (confirmed on the source pages)

  • paypay.ne.jp
