I got this a number of times, fell for it. My bank saw through it5 and have not made a payment and have cancelled my card. They are sending me a new card.

I'm getting these daily now. Sender is noreply@tp-g.com and noreply@tp-s.com

The header regards "Receipt not paid". Same case number each time.

The logo and general layout could fool many users.

ACCC scam watch seems to be gathering statistics, since I suspect there is little they can really do.

Will continue to ignore.

This is August 2021 and I am STILL getting these messages!  The words are the same each time, including poor spelling.  Surely thers's a way to filter these to spam - other ISPs can do it.  Legitimate messages go to spam while rubbish like this goes to my inbox - I am using TPG Post Office, so it can't be blamed on my email client.  It is a TPG issue.

Another one doing the rounds today. I got one very official looking TPG email from "Billingservices@tpg.com.au" , saying TPG security has been upgraded and I will have to update my details or my service will be suspended,  the link is disguised as a Update button.

Hi,

Today I recieved a phishing Email saying that my Credit Payment was declined and that I could update my details by clicking on the Link (of course I did not click the link I am not that easily conned).

The senders Email was pretending to be TPG Internet, however you can clearly see it is from rodcharles@westnet.com.au

From: "TPG Internet" <rodcharles@westnet.com.au>
To: MyEmail@tpg.com.au
Date: 20 Jun 2022 20:39:48 +0100
Subject: Payment should be received before your billing cycle renewal.

Please arrang to Block this sender from sending anything to TPG.

 

TPG needs to create a SCAM reporting Email address so that users can easily report a TPG Scam directly..

Scamwatch will not do anything,

TPG can block senders/abusers IP so that they (the scammers) cannot send anymore scam Emails to TPG members.
