Sharing EV Charging Station

[answered] Paypal users: does Paypal call you to confirm purchases?
I’ve been boycotting PayPal for at least a decade, so I am somewhat out of touch with how they operate. Out of the blue, I received a call at a phone number paypal would not know I had. A bot said:
“This is Paypal calling to confirm the purchase of an iPhone. Press 1 to confirm this order or 2 to cancel” (paraphrasing)
Is that normal? Of course what I would like to know is whether my number was entered by someone as a typo, or whether this signals a malicious act. Or whether the whole call was fabricated and Paypal does not do this. And if it’s a malicious act, am I the victim, or was my phone number randomly entered with someone else as the victim?
If #paypal were on the ball, there would be 3 choices (confirm, cancel [customer changes their mind], or transaction unexpected [i.e. fraud]).

Is there any climate simulator for the coming years? Sea rise water level sim
I'm looking to see what coastal areas would be impacted, what regions would get above certain temperatures , etc, we all see sporadic individual images of these predictions in articles online but I wonder if there's a tool for that, ideally open source.
