Dear PayPaI Customer,
We have detected a transaction of A$485.50 to "Global Tech Retail" (Transaction ID: 8829-1055-3092-1704) initiated from an unrecognized device linked to your account.
If you did not authorize this payment, please contact our Security Response Team immediately at 1800 317 172 to secure your account and prevent further unauthorized access. If you recognize this transaction, no further action is required.
---- Clearly a phishing scam attempt, silly as the newly released Australian SenderID legislation is going to make the scammers success rate highly ineffective, and they will have to diversify into other forms of digital terrorism or target other geological locations.
