Caller: A supposedly call back number to Westpac sent via an email

An email was sent to me with the above 1300 360 766 number to call for help at any Westpac bank for me to give my job earnings and title of job

Caller: Westpac SMS

The number is legitimate. As already mentioned by others here, I received an unsolicited text message asking me to verify ID, update employment, income and contact details by 18/12/24. Though instructed to call 1300 360 766, I ended up erring on the side of caution and instead calling the phone number on the back of my card (which turned out to be 'lost & stolen cards,' but I digress). Long story short, we think the message was sent out because the date on my driver's licence had expired. Though I personally wondered if it was all to do with Albo's new digital ID bill. Think about it: how will they identify everyone 16+ online when most don't get ID until 18? Through their bank, perhaps. Not happy Jan! Anyway, I did the update on the spot, over the phone. Mainly the new licence expiry and confirming other existing details. You can find a full explanation, including the phone number and Q&A on listed on their website, the page is titled 'Westpac ID Secure.'

Caller: Sms from ‘Westpac’

Asking me to verify ID, update employment, income and contact details by 12/12/24.

Caller: Westpac

The same SMS says: Update your ID or we will restrict your account. It looks legit, but the problem is I don't have a Westpac account :). So go for it, but I don't believe that it is a good way to contact your customer.

Got a text from this number. Apparently from Westpac. I didn't click on any links but went into the legitimate site and checked alerts and messages - there was nothing. I'll double check by going into a Westpac.
Not a good idea to contact people this way, Westpac.

A text message from Westpac wanted me to "verify my ID", update my employment and income details and contact details, deadline to do so was 2 months away. I couldn't find the number the text message said to call on their website so I sent a copy of the SMS to Westpac to follow up.
