Caller: 1300 725 863 This is a legitimate request from the Westpac Group (St George Westpac etc) I went in and confirmed with my branch. If you have doubts, visit branch also, this information is requested by the government they told me so it is best to not ignore it.

I got a text message from WESTPAC saying " Please update your foreign tax residency status or your account maybe restricted. Call this number 1300 725 863 or (02) 9845 4749 international. Not sure if this is legit.

Caller: Voice to text Message Said im Ahmed from Bank of Melbourne Initial call - Came up with no caller ID I never answer no ID calls. Called 1300 725 863 on another phone. message said welcome to Bank of Melb. I didn't select any of the 1 or 2 options. Reply message said opening hours for ( WESTPAC ) Super sus - most likely a scam. The real Westpac site lists this number on its Foreign Tax Residency page Obviously the scammers are Spoofing this number. I've been getting Account warnings from both NAB & Westpac for (non existent accounts). BE warned with this scam...

I got phone call, text message and email. I forwarded the email to hoax @ westpac.com.au and I will not be ringing the number. Westpac say they will never ask for any forms to be filled out online.

I also received a message telling me to call this number to update my foreign tax residency status. I immediately looked the number up on here and will obviously be ignoring the text.
