Called St George Scam Assist on 1300 301 217
They confirmed that the SMS was genuine, there had been a failed attempt to use the card from the US (Delivering food from GrubHub, US only).
Card is now cancelled, new one on the way.

I can only recommend that you call St George Scam Assist on 1300 301 217 if in any doubt.

Reading the above thought it was a scam , checked online banking and there were 3 pending transactions I didn't recognise. Rang Westpac cards and there was another subsequent attempt since. So legit.

Caller: St George (also Westpac) Fraud squad sent a text message

Caller: St George

It is definitely real. I also got the text msg about a card that I use regularly, used for an online purchase I had not made. I replied “no”, instant reply stated that a fraud investigator will contact me in the next 60 minutes, I also deliberately didn’t answer the call when the did ring and was left a voice mail where they stated they were from st george, my full name and asked me to contact them on the number on the back of my card.
If they were not real they would not want you to ring the number on the back of the card.
The fraud squad had blocked that transaction and put a temporary block on my card until I contacted them and confirmed that I wanted it replaced.
Bottom line is that there was fraudulent activity - it was stopped in its tracks - and the card has been cancelled so you can trust this number. Great work St George!!

txt received "St George Alert: Transaction blocked on card ending in xxxx for $x. If you recognise the transaction, reply 'Yes'. If you do not, reply 'No'." I immediately checked my online statements and found the txt was reference to a pending transaction not authorised by me. I then rang St George and and ultimately cancelled the credit card.

Hi I got a text sayng card had been used and to conform yes or no? Called Westpac on 132032 and text was real. Someone had tested my card with a $10 purchase first before trying to buy a scooter at Scooter Hut Melbourne for $1125. I would never have checked for the $10 transaction. So call your bank if you get the text.

SMS received about blocked fraudulent activity that was picked up by the bank . Didn’t reply as requested but called the lost card line straight away who confirmed the SMS was legit and my account was flagged.
They cancelled my card straight away, organized a new one and checked all my other bank accounts.

Asking to confirm activity on my credit card. I was suspicious and phoned Westpac. It was legit and my card had been hacked and used to purchase $2000 worth of stuff from office works. They cancelled the card.

I got this test advising of fraudulent activity and that someone from Westpac would be calling me within the hour. I googled the number and came across this site. Decided to call Westpac - got out through to their fraud division. Was legitimate - a slight difference with the amount being fraudulently charged but all checked out. If in doubt, call your bank.

This was a legitimate text message, but I did make contact with their fraudulent SMS message to 0457 114 629 (0457 11 HOAX) and they called me back straight away. It turned out that my visa card had been hacked and that they had attempted the transactions on a number of occasions so my card has been cancelled and they will send out a new card. Definitely not a scam at all and I am so grateful of their diligence in reporting it

this is genuine. Simply call the bank (on their advertised phone no) and check.

Those saying scam - clearly didn't get the message and didn't call the bank.

This is not a scam!! It is the bank fraud department and they notified me of an unusual transaction and also cancelled my card. They rang me within an hour of receiving the message and confirmed it was not a scam, I also rang my bank who also confirmed it was not a scam message.
