Received SMS claiming to be Paypal and to contact this number via a link. Hack or scam for sure as this is not one of Paypal's Australian based telephone numbers! Mobile sender blocked and reported to both Scamwatch and Paypal

Caller: SMS Received SMS from a 04... Mobile number claiming that my PayPal account had successfully been registered with a device in California. I've registered enough devices to know I never recieve any SMS from PayPal about this activity. In addition, the phone number listed to call "support" was 1300 454 709, and a simple search found this page. Be alert folks... Never click or call a number/link listed in random SMS or emails... it's easy enough to log in to your account via entering the URL yourself manually and checking on your account. Scammers rely on your laziness to validate the claim yourself, MANUALLY, and hope you just click their links and you fall right into their hands. Protect yourself and do your due diligence -- protecting yourself is an active job -- if you choose to use technology the onus is on you to protect yourself. Happy Paypalling!:-)
