We have not seen this before until we received this phishing email this morning. It seems that the HA payment confirmation emails are now being targeted by the phishermen. Some glowing grammatical errors, including the email heading, and the usual clues showing it's a fake email (no personal salutation, etc.):

You have received payment from a Guest

I just amended my post because the 'spoof@' address should not have a hyphen.
