Caller: Bank Fraud department

Texts from this number are from a anti-fraud company that works for many credit card companies. I tested this by texting some gibberish to the number, I received a reply that said "Unfortunately we are unable to process your request, please contact us by using the number on the back of your card" I then texted "no" and received a reply "thank you for your response a block has been placed on your card a fraud officer will contact you by telephone within the next 60 Minutes". If you do not trust this you should block your credit cards on your banking app and contact you bank asap.

Caller: St George

This number is not a scam. I assumed it was, but called the bank and they confirmed it was legit. I had 2 weird pending transactions on my account & the bank alerted me immediately by sms from this number.

Caller: St George SMS

It's legit. Unauthorized transactions on my debit card. Called Bank of Melbourne directly and they confirmed the texts are legitimate. Now i have to replace my card but at least i didnt lose any money.

I received a notification tonight and have blocked the phone number.
THIS IS A SCAM. DO NOT RESPOND OR TAKE ANY CALLS FROM THIS NUMBER.

St is opened by Wesrpac

Caller: Westpac SMS

Legit.I have a $1000+ Transaction on other side of world on my CC. SMS from westpac was within 10 mins of transaction. checked Statement and stated transaction was on my account. I replied 'No' to the SMS and a temporary hold has been put on my CC account.

Caller: St George Bank

Thought this was a scam but it was not! i did have unauthorised transactions in my bank account and called st george bank directly (and they conrifmed that it was them). now i have to wait up to 10 days for my new card to be mailed out! very frustrating, but at least i have not lost any money.

same company

Caller: St George

Received a text message to see if a transaction was mine. Definitely not me, the stores location is Victoria and I'm in WA

Text msg from this number. 100% SCAM. I don't even bank with Westpac. Checked my accounts - nothing. DO NOT REPLY. Block and delete.

Caller: WESTPAC

If you get this message, check your account and call your bank immediately. It is absolutely legitimate. I discovered that not only was there a transaction for the amount stated, there had been several other prior transactions with the same delivery company on the same day.

Do not delay, stop fraud today. They cleared half my account and I'm on hold with the fraud team at my bank as I write this.

Caller: westpac alert

is was real- there was a withdrawal, and refund to my account, I got a new card sent

Caller: BankSA

This is a legitimate notification from BankSA. Do not ignore and call your bank just to be sure. Westpac owns St George and BankSA so maybe this number is shared across all of the Westpac owned banks.

Caller: Westpac

Received a txt alert on a transaction linked to my bank account. Westpac immediately locked my card if i hadnt answered the txt i would have been scammed. Not a scam number. But when in doubt ring your bank.

Caller: it was an sms

People, please don't fall for the fake posts on this website (or others like it). This is 100% a scam. Your bank does NOT send you text messages from a consumer mobile number like this. Furthermore, I received this message yet have no accounts with Westpac - I mean come on, how obvious can it be? If you do happen to have a Westpac account, and you haven't reported a suspicious transaction, then it should be clear as day that it's fraudulent. All these people want are your banking details so they can gain access to your account. If in doubt, CALL YOUR BANK on the number listed on its website, NOT the number in this egregiously fake text message.

Caller: 0429 933 739

Im not with westpac yet apparently my card was being charged.

Caller: Westpac Bank

SMS Message from Westpac Bank, stating that a suspected fraudulent payment had been attempted.
Checked bank statements and it was for an actual transaction - dollar amount and partial account number matched bank transactions, meaning the message was legitimate.

Caller: Westpac

The text was legitimate. I was hesitant about messaging back so I rang Westpac who advised there had indeed been suspicious activity on my card and they had blocked my card. Don't listen to the goose saying its a hoax. It's not. If in doubt just ring Westpac and you'll find out. Easy.

Caller: Westpac

The number is genuine. It's Westpac.
Call 132032 if you have any doubt, as the text message looks highly suspect.
Westpac should improve the way in which they send these texts as it really looks like a scam text.

Caller: Westpac - 0429 933 739

I had two text messages from this number today and called Westpac directly rather than responding to the message and it was 100% genuine. I had 9 transactions that had been blocked in the space of 5 minutes that I had not made. My credit card has been cancelled and I have been reissued a new one. In my case it was genuine but I am well aware that it can at times be a scam. If you receive this message and are unsure, call your bank immediately and have them look into it.
