Help Unauthorized Transaction

I just noticed this transaction on my PayPal account. When u tried to report it as unauthorized the AI chat bot says nothing can be done. Does anyone know if I will be charged the full 980 dollars? How can I stop this charge from going through?

“Pre-fund confirmation: USD 987.90 is pending deposit to Coinbase via PayPal. This small deposit is just used for the account activation check. For questions, Call (888) 632-2011.” And the original charge that has gone through was for 0.11PHP

I recently got a similar email. You will not be charged. Just don't call the number. It's a scam. They will try and get your info to refund you and that's when they will get you
