This is not a scam! I thought it was after coming to this sight so ignored the message initially. My card was temporarily blocked, I found out the hard way when it was declined when I tried to use it next. I phoned NAB fraud from a number I got from their website and they confirmed it is them and my card had a suspicious transaction on it which they blocked. Please don’t ignore!

From NAB Website:

"If we detect suspicious activity, we may send an automated SMS to confirm the transaction with you. This SMS will come from either 0438 357 801 or 0447 153 051.

If you receive this SMS from us, please respond with either:

‘1’ if you authorised the transaction and we’ll automatically remove the block on your card
‘0’ if you didn’t authorise the transaction, we’ll then send a follow up SMS and one of our fraud specialists will call you shortly after.

If the original transaction was declined, you can try again after responding to the SMS."

Called back NAB through the NAB app. Confirmed that there were $3k worth of fraud attempts on the card today. They cancelled the card and issued a new one. Reflecting in the NAB app too. My advice, call NAB using the number on the website if you are sceptical but don’t ignore this message. Will save you a lot of trouble later on.

It's legit.

Go to link: https://www.nab.com.au/about-us/security/fraud-scams. Or go to NAB website, search the phone number and click on the search result. Once there, expand "You've received a suspicious email, SMS or phone call". The number is listed there as one of the two that NAB uses for automated SMS notification.

Received a text message from this number claiming to be NAB regarding fraudulent transactions on our NAB credit card. I was in doubt, so I called NAB and confirmed it was a legitimate message. Of course, if in doubt, always call to verify yourself using an inbound call to a published phone number.

This is definitely a well planned scam. I have a NAB account and logged on to check just to make sure after receiving this text, it turns out someone had used my account internationally to make an unknown transaction for a large amount. So the text from this number would seem legit by this point but they are just trying to get your details to your accounts so that they can get more money from you. Don't be a fool.

Go through the processes NAB has in place for scammers. Call the numbers on their websites rather than calling from this text.

This man was obviously a scammer. Surprisingly he knew my name and address but kept asking me to confirm the details. When I asked him where he was located he said NAB head office in "Vitoria". I asked where in "Vitoria" and could hear him tapping on his keyboad then replied "Squiral Island in Vitoria." He then said he didn't like my sarcastic attitude and that I was being quite rude and that if I didn't comply with his requests for information my card was going to be scammed and I'd loose a lot of money! I told him unfortunately he had met his match today and he wouldn't be getting any money out of me so he better take his little black arse and sell it on a street corner. This resulted in him yelling a lot of foul expletives which I won't repeat as I hung up. BEWARE OF CALLS FROM THIS NUMBER,

Received a message from 0438 357 801.
The NAB had noticed an unusual transaction on my NAB VISA CARD. for $45.66 , and have placed a temporary block on my card.

Had to pres 1if I authorised this transaction and they removed the block, if it wasn’t me I had to press 0 and they would call me shortly.

But I did ring the bank my self and yes they did send the sms message to me, and told me that 2 different. Businesses tried to take out the same amount.
Luckily this card they were to try to take the money from had no money in there, as it is a card I use only for online shopping and transfer the exact amount of money onto the card. I was told to do that years ago by the NAB when there was also someone from America to take money out of my account.

So if you get a sms from this number it is real.

I recieved an SMS from this number (19/09/2023) and went to my local NAB branch to confirm if the SMS was geniune. At the branch a quick check confirmed there were two unauthorised transactions using my credit card that were blocked by the bank. At the local branch I enterd '0' in response to the SMS confirming that the transaction was not by me. Subsequently, I was contacted by the NAB Fraud group to talk me throught the next steps and to formally cancel my credit card. I suggest confirming suss SMS's emails' via 132265 and request 'Fraud Assistance'. It was also suggested to go to scamwatch.com.au for info on types of scams.

While this number is legitimate according to nab's website, this is a very poor way of advising of a potentially fraudulent transaction. My wife tried to make a payment and it was rejected saying that the phone number didn't match. Her phone number has never changed. As she is the secondary card holder, the credit card is not available in the nab app to receive messages there. I am the primary card holder and did not receive any notification.
I recommend that everyone who receives a message from this number complains to nab to get them to implement a method that does not look like a scam.

Says from NAB about suspicious transaction for a card ending xxxx however NONE of my cards end in those numbers. This has to be a scam.
I do not believe the other posts here claiming it is legitimate, especially the post I saw that says it is NAB posting here.
SCAM!
Find the correct number from the NAB website and call, do not call the number in the text message.

Legitimate text from NAB. I called the NAB number on the card to confirm that it was legit, and they could see the card had been blocked, and there was a fraudulent charge.

Caller: NAB automated SMS

I received a SMS from this number reporting a suspicious transaction on my card ending in xxxx. They used my name and asked me to respond with 1 to indicate it was authorised by me or 0 if it wasn’t. From NAB website it states: “If we detect suspicious activity, we may send an automated SMS to confirm the transaction with you. This SMS will come from either 0438 357 801 or 0447 153 051
After checking my banking app there was a suspicious pending transaction so I called NAB on 132265 (always check official bank website or the number on your card) and they confirmed there was a suspicious transaction which they had stopped and blocked my card. They then issued a new card.
