I just got the same text, and it is legitimate. I googled the phone number & landed on this page so then phoned Commonwealth Bank who confirmed that it is genuine - someone was trying to make an unauthorised withdrawal from my Credit Card account 20 minutes ago in another part of the state. Bank have now stopped the transaction from being processed, blocked the account & will reissue a new card in the coming days.

This is a GENUINE MESSAGE from Commonwealth Bank. My card had been compromised and they alerted me through this number. Best not ignore it!

I received a text checking whether I had attempted a particular purchase. I was initially sceptical so called the Commonwealth Bank directly. Turns out someone was trying to use my credit card and the number is genuinely from the Bank's fraud team. My card has now been cancelled and a new one is on it's way to me. Joke's on the fraudster - he got greedy and tried to put through a transaction larger than my credit limit so it was declined anyway.

I got a similar message via text this morning and just checked with Commonwealth Bank. IT WAS COMMONWEALTH BANK TEXTING ME. Seems someone has been trying to purchase booze and gambling on my credit card.

Got a message from this number: <Commonwealth Bank would like to confirm if you have attempted a transaction at avior airlin. Please reply YES or NO. > Called commonwealth helpline straight to confirm the is the message sent by Commonwealth. They said it is their security team number and they realized someone trying to use my card. They stopped my card immediately and sending a new card to me. Please do not ignore the message from this number and if you do not confident with the message, just call the Commonwealth Helpline to clarify.

My debit card has been scammed on 04/03/17 and 7 transactions have been within an hour amount $421 in Coles, Woolworth, Meat shop and post.
I got txt from this number to verify the transaction and ask for reply Yes or No.
I have identified this number through true caller ID and appear the name - Virginia Viratanagasam

This is a TRUE message and do not ignore it. When you see that go to your online account immediately and check recent transaction records! I just checked that someone spent almost 500 dollars in the past few hours. So make sure you take actions if you see this message!

Commonwealth bank sent a text asking if I had attempted a transaction with uber in the US. They then sent a second text telling me it was important to answer YES or NO to previous text. I thought this was a scam, replied with unsavory language and reported it to scamwatch.gov.au. I checked netbank and there were fraudulent uber transactions pending against my account. I contacted Commonwealth directly (number listed on my bank card) and they put me through to the department that sent the text. This is a legitimate number (though contact through Commonwealth to be sure.)

Guys this is a legit message to confirm activity! You can always call the bank to confirm instead of just telling people it is a scam without actually knowing !!

Further to my previous note, this is a GENUINE COMMONWEALTH BANK NUMBER!!! I ignored it for a while, but I got more so contacted the bank. My bank account had been hacked. So my gratitude to the commonwealth bank. If you get a message from this number reply as quick as you can.

Purports to be from the commonwealth bank asking if I authorised a payment to napster Austria. Let's face it, the bank would call for something like this. Not use an unidentified number. I'm ignoring it.

Received 2 messages and 1 phone call this morning. Checked with Commonwealth Bank (13 2221) and they confirmed this is a legitimate phone no. from their security department. Someone attempted to use my credit card for a $124 transaction. The transaction has been declined and Commonwealth Bank is going to replace my credit card with a new one.

Commonwealth bank confirmed with me that this is a legit number.

commonwealth bank scam, asked me to confirm whether a transaction is authorized.

Text message claiming to be from Commonwealth Bank, asking to verify a transaction. Followed by 2 phone calls from (02) 8070 2202 claiming to be Commonwealth Bank fraud squad. I hung up and rang the CBA. Don't go along with it. Probable scam.

txt cam thru 2.24am saying they were Comm Bank asking if I had tried to make a purchase at a certain company. Hours later at 7.32am. I received a call from (02) 8070 2202 telling me they were Comm Bank wanting details,, don't play The whole thing didn't look or seem right
