Caller: Latitude Financial Services (28 Degrees Mastercard)

Latitude Financial Services now runs the 28 Degrees Mastercard, which used to be managed by GE Money. I received a legitimate text message from this number, but you should ALWAYS call the number on the back of your card instead of one appearing in a text message. It's not good practice for them to ask you to click on a link or call a number they provide. They should just tell you to call the number on the back of your card or contact them through the official website.

Background: I received a text message from this number indicating my card had been blocked and to contact them because of possible fraud activity. I did not recognize this number, and it is not listed on the card or their website, so I called the number on the back of my card to be safe. Sure enough, my card details had been used fraudulently with a website in the UK, so this was a good catch by their fraud department. New card is on the way.

Received a text today with my 'verification number' for a GoMaster card I don't have. Second message followed 10minutes later notifying me my number was updated and if I didn't make this request to call 1300 305 845 asap. I don't have a GoMaster. Ignoring and blocking.

Text message from Go Card (Not Translink, the owner of Go Card) suggesting that my mobile number was updated, if i didn't make this request to call ASAP 1300 305 884 (Aus) or 0800330017 (NZ)

Caller: Latitude Finance

This number is Latitude Financial about fraudulent activity. I actually called the number on the back of the card 1300 630 977 which is an alternate number but this is all CONFIRMED to be Latitude Financial... not a scam.

I received a few sms's giving me a verification code for my GoMaster card, then another text saying my mobile number was updated and if i diidn't make this request to call 1300 305 884.
I do not have a GoMaster Card
deleted sms's

Caller: Latitude Fraud Centre

This number is the legitimate number for Latitude Fraud centre. They had blocked my card because I changed my email address online. They unblocked it when I called the number on the back of the card but they confirmed that this number is the direct number for their fraud centre.

Caller: 1300 305 884

I receive a sms 2from 28 DEGREES saying "Your mobile number was updated. If you didn't make this request, call us asap on 1300 305 884 (Australia or (New Zealand). Thanks. I rang the number and at the middle of the conversation I realised the number is not the same as the number at the back of the card. They were able to get my mobile number and was able to change everything on my Latitude and went to change things on my CBA account. This number is fraudulent.

Send msg to phone with 1800 number, then on hold, then starts asking for all your details. DONT DO IT. Watch some scam videos to see how they do it

From Latitude - Stating my card has suspicious activity overseas and the card is blocked. I just ignored it

Received a text message this morning from 'Latitude' saying my card had been blocked due to suspicious activity. I did not trust the number given and I had never heard of 'Latitude', luckily I typed in the number given and found good advice on this website. I have just rung them from the number on the back of my card and they have confirmed that my card has been used fraudulently and they are now issuing me with a new card.Too bad 28 Degrees did not send me notice of their sale to 'Latitude' as I usually ignore any messages from people I do not know!!

Caller: Text message

The scammers are up to their tricks again. Text today saying my card is blocked due to suspicious activity

Caller: Text from 28 Degrees

I received this text. '28 Degree Fraud would like to verify a declined transaction of $832.59 on card ending XXXX. Reply 1 if authorised, 2 if not authorised.'
I replied '2'.
Received another text. 'Thankyou. As a precaution we have now blocked your card. A Fraud officer will call you ASAP. 28 Degrees Fraud Dept.'
I replied 'I won't be giving any personal information to anyone over the phone.'
Received another text. '28 Degrees Fraud have received an invalid response. Please contact us as soon as possible on 1300 305 884.'
I haven't phoned that number and I have sent a copy of this transcript as well as the original phone number generating the texts to 28 Degrees.

To say my phone number had been updated on my account and if it wasn’t me then to contact them asap!

Phishing scam

Text to say "Your Latitude Financial access has been temporarily disabled for identity check, Please click on <website link> to enable your access."

I have no Latitude Financial account.

Dear Latitude customer, you have an internal notification. There is a link to open. It's obviously a SCAM. do not open the link.

Received a TXT message from a number claiming to be Latitude Finance stating access to my account is disabled for identity check, please click on "WEB Link" to enable access. I didn't know this financial institution existed until I received this message - I would assume this is identity thieves at work, can anyone confirm?
