Text message says it was AUSPAYPAL and I should ring this 1800 number if I hadn't made a payment to Mr. Jhonny Smith on 01/26, @paypal*INC. Dead set scam.

Caller: Some scamming f*ck

Actually, unsolicited text, not call. Message verbatim sent on 26/01/23 @3:33pm was:

Important: You have sent 1740.00 AUD to Mr. Mark Remon, on Thursday 01/26, Is this you? If not please dial +611800 9512 58 Immediately.

Suffice to say, I did not dial that number immediately, and from a secure device via VPN to avoid any IP tracking, I checked my PayPal account to confirm the obvious bullsh*t sms claim of money leaving my PayPal account to go to Mr Madeupname. No such transaction exists, so I put this one down to a phishing scam.

Filthy, slimy, scheming scumbag would-be thieves. Ignore these types of messages if you get them. If you immediately feel vulnerable, urged, put under pressure or at risk by a call to action type of message, always be wary and discerning first, never respond and do not follow their instruction. Don’t even reply. Block and delete. You don’t want to confirm or validate any of the information they already have on you. They may be trying to connect dots and form a profile on you from pieces of your info info they’ve obtained from the dark web, third party sources, other phishing means or elsewhere. They may be trying to confirm that the info is current. Just be vigilant, err on the side of caution and trust no-one who approaches you cold.

Stay safe and protect yourself from these lame, try-hard, opportunistic piece of poo losers.

May the Foresight be with you.
