Did a credit card transaction around midnight with my St George credit card, then got an SMS from this number. It showed the transaction amount and name of store, and said to reply "No" if I believed the transaction was fraudulent.

Was St George bank letting me know about transaction from card. Rang them to verify and all ok.

Caller: Westpac

Called the bank through apps, they said it is from them. They cancel my card & create a new one from me.
Check and call your bank using the number from website or apps.

I received a text from this number saying they are St George Bank agent informing me about a suspicious transaction in my card, checked the transactions in my card & it was there exactly as describe . So I replied No for not recognising this transaction. I phoned St George Bank number 133330 and they confirmed that the text is legit so they will replace our card and they will request a refund from the merchant .

Caller: St George bank

Not a scam, had to cancel my cards after being notified from this number.

Caller: St George Bank

This is a legit message. Received a late night text asking if a transaction of $40 to a business in India was me. I passed it off as a scam message but then checked my bank account and yes, that amount had been withdrawn. They attempted a few more transactions which thankfully St George flagged as suspicious and blocked. My card has been cancelled and am currently awaiting a new one. So yes, definitely a legit message.

Hello everyone. I just called Westpac about this and they confirmed its genuine. Apparently text messages that have links in them are scams but this one isnt. If you are unsure yiu can call westpac yourself and verify.

Caller: Westpac

Not a scam. I could not see any suspicious transaction mentioned in the text message but I called Westpac to double check and they confirmed there was an attempt and the transaction has been blocked.

If you have received a message from this number, DO NOT MESSAGE BACK! Check your bank account if you have a transaction that matches the amount in the message ******CALL YOUR BANK DIRECTLY. I am currently calling my bank and needing to change my card and have been transferred to the the fraud department. Stay Safe

Caller: Westpac

Not a scam (actually from Westpac fraud team).
If you are in doubt, just call Westpac directly (number via their website) to confirm.

Caller: Scammer

Presented to be from our Bank, claiming our card was blocked due to suspicious action. We rang the bank. TOTAL FRAUD

Caller: Westpac

I thought this was a scam, however this is a legitimate number used by Westpac to advise of fraudulent transactions. I rang Westpac who confirmed this and have cancelled my card.

Caller: 0429 933 739

This is 100% a scam! If it was from Westpac, it would say 'Call Westpac on 13xxxx', not 'Call us back on this random number'. It's simple to check - JUST LOOK AT YOUR ACCOUNT. The people here saying 'It's legit' ARE THE SCAMMERS.

Caller: Bank of Melbourne

Well, they didn't call - I called the bank first. The text (from 0429 933 739) seemed half-way legit but the very second I replied 'n' in return I figured I might have made a mistake. Came here, enough negative comments to have me concerned.

Called BoM via the bank app, who confirmed that not only had the suspcious purchase in the text been made, but a whole string of similar purchases had also been rung up - circa $1K worth. How the f*ck that happened I don't know but that's a separate story.

Anyways - I wouldn't trust anybody telling me they're calling me from a bank, but if you do get this message I suggest you get in touch with your bank pronto.

Caller: Westpac

This is a legitimate test from westpac fraud department. They are texting you to inform you of suspicious activity on your account.

Caller: WESTPAC text

NOT A SCAM.
Genuine fraud attempt on my card which was BLOCKED by Westpac.
If you are not sure, don’t reply to text, call bank yourself for security.
Card subsequently cancelled with new card on order.

Caller: Westpac credit car fraud

I thought this was suspicious but saw a comment here saying it was legitimate. Nothing was showing on my account online. I called the bank from the number on my statement and it is true. I'm waiting to speak to fraud now and my card has been blocked.

Caller: Text message

Got text from St George about transaction I didn’t make. Cancelled my card.
Call the OFFICIAL St George Bank number to make sure. They should not ask you for your full card details (ie. card number and CVV/PIN), they already have these on hand- they will tell you to cancel your card and you should immediately do so. Cancelling will automatically mean a replacement is being sent to you. AFTER you have cancelled your card, they will connect you to someone who WILL ask ur cancelled card details (Only the number, no CVV, and some identification questions, i think ok to give as your card has now been cancelled) for details on transactions and fraud investigation

Caller: 0429 933 739

Scam

This is genuine. Please don’t ignore it. I wasn’t to sure at first as nothing showed up on my online banking. I did not reply Yes or No, just in case, but rang the number on the back of my credit card. She confirmed right away there had been a suspicious transaction and it had been blocked and that’s why it did not appear on my online statement. If you’re not sure ring your bank. Better safe than sorry.
