Got an email from Raleigh S. Eldert (0633) today about an unauthorized PayPal charge of $659.86. They say to dispute it, call this number and quote reference #UQ48. The listed BSB/account points to a NAB branch on level 5, 2 Carrington St, Sydney 2000. Digging deeper shows a PEH payment code, indicating a large corporate clearance house handling bank‑to‑bank and overseas transfers. Paying the scam will likely make the money vanish. Do NOT reply—report to ACCC Scam Watch. Just a heads‑up, mate.
PayPal Scam Alert: Fake Charge Emails
Summary — +61285517076
Expert Opinion
Verify every unsolicited email claiming PayPal charges before dialing any number—check directly on PayPal's official site or app. These calls from this number tie to scam emails with fake receipts for bogus transactions like McAfee or antivirus debits, often from Gmail addresses or odd names like Nora Ray or Harry Titus. Never call back; report to PayPal and authorities like ACCC Scamwatch immediately. Block the number and enable two-factor authentication on your accounts to block fraud. If contacted, hang up and monitor statements for suspicious activity—scammers aim to phish details or push refunds that steal more.
