My daughter received a bizarre text message on her mobile - from mobile phone number 0448 222 001 - here is what the text message said "To confirm payee hi pty ltd BSB account enter Westpac Protect SMS Code 711271. Unexpected Message? Call 1300 655 505"

"An Osko payment made on 15/05/20 was rejected. Check your messages in Westpac Live for further details. Unexpected SMS? Call 1300 655 505"
Not my bank!

not a westpac customer, and never been, received message from 0448 222 001 for code, ask to call 1300 655 505 to report.....scam........

Caller: I was calling

I typed in the 1300 655 505 number in to my phone.
For some reason the phone told me this was the phone number for Injectables Institute.
Google usually provides business names for phone numbers where they know the number and name.
but boy, did they get this one wrong!
Called the number anyway, and it was the Westpac Help Line.
But Westpac Help Line is so useless, I couldn't actually get them to understand this problem!

Caller: Number quoted on email

Email from <alertsnotification @ email8.westpac.com.au> telling me that my password was changed and to call the 1300 number. Email does look quite legitimate and would easily fool people.
It is a SCAM.
Hopefully reporting it here will help people.

SCAMMERS - This number was listed on a scam email telling me my netbank account had been compromised (I don't bank with CBA). Told me to click on link to confirm my details to regain access to my account. Any issues call 1300 655 505. Email then had CBA logo with Westpac named underneath.

Caller: SPAM!

Received the the same message twice providing a code and a "Westpac number" to call
for unexpected SMS 1300 655 505
I am not their customer

Received a text message asking me to call that number as my "account was blocked". I thought it was scam. I tried to access my account online and it was locked. Therefore I called my bank on a different number, and eventually I found out that a payment I tried to make online was deemed "suspicious" and the bank had blocked it. I think that the number in the SMS may be the Westpac fraud department.
