Anyone know if an SMS from TM-INFO is a phishing attack?

[a_man]

Got a weird SMS a few minutes ago from a number that shows as TM-INFO (my phone doesn't show the number behind it).

The text of the SMS reads -

[#]You've paid $1500.00AUD for <removed> on 2021/06/18 TID#1401AQ65147D15

If Not you, Contact TFN:<removed> for DISPUTE, Thank you!!!

Obviously, the odd spelling caught my eye. No activity in my PayPal account and nothing in my bank account.

And the 1 800 number shouldn't have the country dial code before it.

Was wondering if this is a phishing attack? Who or what is TM-INFO and how did they get my number?

I got one too, no 1800 but country code is there

Yeah, it's odd. I figure it was a phishing attempt. Although it might be another type of phone scam.

But they'd need to know my number and that I use PayPal.

Unfortunately, the clowns here censor the comments so we can't even compare notes.

Complete waste of time bothering, TBH.

I had the same sms on Wednesday. Ditto all of the following:

OK, obviously some sort of phishing attempt. Question is where are they getting our details from. It's not like you can SMS any random mobile number as assume they use PayPal.
