Just received a phishing email purportedly from NACHA regarding an ACH transaction that was "canceled by the Electronic Payments Association." NACHA is a legitimate organization but (from its website): "NACHA does not send communications of any type to persons or organizations about individual ACH transactions that they originate or receive." The email is purposefully vague in order to get you to click on the link: report_166515734351.pdf.exe. In the original email, the referenced link was "live" but, obviously, it is not "live" here. Complete contents of the email below:

The ACH transaction (ID: 166515734351), recently sent from your checking account (by you or any other person), was canceled by the Electronic Payments Association.

About NACHA
The ACH Network had its start in the early 1970's when a group of California bankers formed the Special Committee on Paperless Entries (SCOPE) in direct response to the rapid escalation of check volume in the United States. The Committee set out to explore the technical, operational, and legal framework necessary for an automated payments system, leading to the formation of the first ACH association in 1972. Similar groups soon formed around the country.
More than 18.2 billion ACH payments were made in 2008, an increase of 1.2 billion over 2007. ACH payment volume continues to double every five years. The 2007 Federal Reserve Payments Study revealed ACH payments had the largest compound annual growth rate, 18.6 percent, of all U.S. non-cash payments.
