    This is not a scam. It is part of Westpac's 2-stage verification of payment requests. I log into my account, tell Westpac to make a certain payment. Within a minute or two I receive an SMS from this phone number number which shows a six-digit (I think) code. I then type this code into the payment transaction that is not yet complete. Once this code has been verified by Westpac's computer, the transaction becomes authorised and is implemented. Quite a secure system - a hacker would have to have hacked into my account, and also stolen my mobile, to complete the transaction.

    It is definitely a scam even 6 years later they are still using the same phony mobile number. They rang me on my unlisted number which the bank has no knowledge of so whoever reckons it is not a scam go ahead and lose your money

    Westpac security service. Sends a code you need to confirm a cash transfer/payment. Legitimate service.

    Caller: Westpac

    If someone has a Westpac account and transfers money to another account this is the number that they receive a text from with a code you need to enter to confirm the transaction. If you receive this but dont bank with westpac chances are you may have a recycled number that is on someones westpac file but out of date or when setting up their account they accidently miskeyed their mobile number or accidently gave the wrong number the phone number at the bottom is what you should ring if you receive this text by error and if you google it, it is a genuine westpac phone number

    2 messages - 1 A message providing a security code for Mobile banking device.
    This is a repeat of a message received about 6 weeks ago (different code) from number 0427 444 440.
    2nd message from 0448 222 001 SMS code to confirm payment of $200 to an account. None of this was actioned by me!
    Must be some kind of SCAM.

    Allegedly Westpac (three messages within three minutes) asking me to click on the code to access my contact details. I have never banked with Westpac. Marked as spam.
