Got a message from a random number telling me my account might be locked. Isn't the usual number I get texts from when I get communication from the bank. logged into my banking and was definitely not locked out of my account. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK. CALL YOUR BANK OR LOGIN TO YOUE ONLINE BANKING.

Received a similar message saying account was blocked, they provided a link to unblock it...haha

I was just wondering, has anyone else signed up to any online bookies lately? I recently signed up to some and wondering if there is a link?

If so, can you please say which online bookies you've signed up to lately in your comments? I belong to all of them so that doesn't exactly help narrow it down. Lol

Commonwealth bank: Your account is locked. Unlock it manually.

Definitely a scam. Checked my account and it’s fine. Had a link attached. Don’t click the link.

Bendigo Bank: Your account is locked. Unlock it manually htt.....
Yep, looks like someone opened up an account for me, be great if life was so easy!!

Now I have to ask the question, with all the stringent 100 points of ID required to start a phone account, how are these scammers getting away with this??? Technology today the location of the phone can even be tracked pretty damn accurately.
ome on authorities, work with the tools you have available.
