My mother in law has received letter from a debt recovery firm stating that she owes Paypal £72.56. Her account has never been in debt and is current fine with no open disputes etc.
Is this letter a scam? I don't want to ring the telephone number incase its a mega expensive line.

Have you tried Googling the "debt collector's" name and details? This might reveal some leads as to whether they are a legitimate company or not. If you throw in a few keywords like Paypal, you might find others have had similar letters and might be able to tell you more. You may also get some luck by punching in the number on www.whocallsme.com - I've rumbled all kinds of scams by using that. Sorry if all that sounds really obvious. It stinks of a scam to me. I bet that phone number is their "payment hotline" or somesuch BS, wanting to frighten people into paying. There's a similar scam going round with someone pretending to be from BT and demanding payment.
