Guys, this number is definately a commonwealth bank number. I recently recieved a text message telling me my personal loan had been processed and I would recieve my funds shortly. At first I thought it was suspicious coming from a mobile number, however I checked my netbank and I also had am email from the bank saying the same thing. However if you recieve any texts from the bank when your not expecting it then I would definately call them to make sure someone hasn't got a hold of your banking details or anything like that

Caller: Text MOST definitely scam. Two temporary passwords within one minute. Then 8 minutes later "your mobile number has been updated on your Commonwealth Bank profile" I don't have a Comm Bank account. Number now blocked

Caller: Commonwealth Bank To the ppl who have commented here that don’t bank with Comm Bank, your identity has been stolen - start making some calls ASAP. To anyone else who has recently opened an account with Comm bank or are an existing Commonwealth Bank customer,
YES THIS IS THE COMMONWEALTH BANK.
Obviously you can’t call back this number (yes @commbank, maybe an idea would be to also list your CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER?) Hopeless.
Merry Christmas, be safe, be careful but don’t be a fool 😉

Don't take any notice of this number, if you try calling it, a recorded message will say " the number you have call has been disconnected". Clearly it's a scam

Got text message saying "Your mobile number has been updated on your Commonwealth Bank profile. If you did not authorise this change please call 13 2221 immediately and quote MC01." I did that and called their direct Commbiz number but they had no record of a change of mobile number. I don't know what the purpose of this scam is except to waste time.

Think it’s a scam. I noticed suspicious transactions on my card so I locked it - then hours later this mobile number started sending messages reminding me that it was locked and how I could open it again. Coincidence? Better to be on the safe side - blocked.

Caller: supposed to be Commonwealth Bank I think it's a scam. Had two emails also from 'KYC - or know your customer). First one directed me to www.commbank.com.au/kyc which is a fake link and leads nowhere. They wanted me to upload all this information that the bank either already has, or doesn't have the right to know about me. SCAM
