Shazam has had reports that some customers are receiving an e-mail falsely claiming to be from "The Electronic Payments Association". The fraudulent e-mail references a fictitious automated clearing house (ACH) reject and directs the recipient to click on a link embedded in the e-mail. This link will take the e-mail recipient to a website that will likely install malicious software (malware) on the recipient's computer with the intention of stealing personal information, login credentials, financial details, and more.
