Claimed to be Westpac. Asked for personal data. Is a scam.

Caller: Westpac

Noticed a transaction from USA last night, today I get a message saying card has been blocked due to attempted transaction etc a Westpac fraud officer will call, this number called and %120 is not a scam, I was skeptical after I spoke to him so I rang westpac and it was legit. Just google the number, it comes up as Westpac or St George fraud team.

Caller: Westpac Fraud line

Anyone reporting this Westpac number as a scam, it is NOT! Call Westpac yourself and ask if they called you and confirm the number with them before getting online posting false information. I have checked with Westpac by calling 132032 and it is all true.

Caller: (02) 9155 4595

No it's not a scam. It's the bank fraud team calling you to try and tell you about attempted fraudulant activity on your credit card! Just call this number back and listen to the recorded message. Anyone who thinks this is a scam is not very bright.

Caller: Westpac

Left a message saying it was west pac fraud, need the CVC to confirm transactions. Called westpac customer service, they confirmed card compromised and they will never ask for CVC, this is SCAM

Said they were Westpac - cards have been scammed but NOT!

Caller: St George Fraud Team

Not a scam. As long as they did'nt ask for anything except to confirm you(your name) and that you authorised a transaction, then you have nothing to worry. You should not need to give them anything else. Legit call, not a scam.

Caller: Westpac

It’s 100% not scam. At first I I thought it’s fraud but apparently they had send me a message saying there is unauthorised payment going through my card. They re-issues new card to avoid unauthorised transactions . It was from Westpac Fraud, Scam alert department

Caller: Allegedly St George

Received a message claiming they were from st george bank and my card was blocked due to suspicious purchase then another call later. message left on voicemail which sounded very unprofessional, Irish guy talking really quickly and he said to give him a call back etc. I could hear someone trying to hold back laughter in the background. I would recommend calling your bank from the official number to confirm before proceeding as it seems that they may be fraudsters that have stolen info. I wouldn't trust any other comment on this page claiming the contrary.

WESTPAC email saying unauthorised transaction on credit card. If okay then do nothing. Did nothing received a further email regarding another transaction. If I don't respond yes all okay. If I don't respond they will block the card which has been done. Completely lost about what to do.

Called me and as soon as I picked up they hung up

This number is from the fraud team. I'm with Westpac and my account was indeed compromised. This is not a scam number.

Caller: St George

Call from St George Bank. Not a scam, but to confirm a payment to make sure it is not a scam.

Caller: This number posing as Westpac

Why would they leave a message saying they want the CVC number then? Banks don’t leave those kinds of messages. So don’t call people dumb for being cautious these days.

Caller: Westpac

I’m not with Westpac, yet my card is being scammed some how. Sure. Totally not a scam….

Caller: Westpac Fraud

I had the number above ring saying westpac fraud! I then rang
the westpac number on the back of my credit card and I had been scammed! 100% Westpac!

Caller: Westpac Fraud team

Assuming the number is not spoofed, it is NOT a scam caller. It is legitimate. I had identity compromised 5 years ago and now they are using the data, I had them flag my ID to call me for any new accounts from Bank of Melb, Stgeorge, and Westpac (same group) and they called me to advise of an account they flagged against my name opened on boxing day, they called me the day after and told me the card will likely still come, which it did.

They were able to identify themselves based on the information from the previous report I made, so 100% legitimate.

Caller: Westpac

Definitely legit. Westpac calling regarding a transaction I made for some crypto - warning of the risks. Happy to receive the call (I answered the 3rd time they called) and while in this instance unnecessary, it was appreciated

Caller: St George Fraud Team

Not a Scam

Caller: St George Bank/Westpac

I called my Bank (St George/Westpac) and confirmed the call I missed from this number is indeed the Fraud Department wanting to alert me to a suspected fraud!
