My Dad received a text message which said it was from Commbank 844871 is your security code. Not you? Call us on (02) 8106 0144 REF: WPT73. I thought someone had accidently entered the wrong mobile numer to Commonwealth Bank so I called the number from my phone. I did not want to click on the phone number in the text message just in case. When I called it was the Commonwealth Bank which had an answering service like all banks. I pressed the number which I needed to and I was on hold for 30 minutes as it said there was a long wait time. This was on New Years Day. I ended up hanging up and tried call the same number the next day. This time the number was not connected. I dont know how they did that but DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER FROM THE TEXT MESSAGE.
