My daughter received a bizarre text message on her mobile - from mobile phone number 0448 222 001 - here is what the text message said "To confirm payee hi pty ltd BSB account enter Westpac Protect SMS Code 711271. Unexpected Message? Call 1300 655 505"

Caller: I was calling

I typed in the 1300 655 505 number in to my phone.
For some reason the phone told me this was the phone number for Injectables Institute.
Google usually provides business names for phone numbers where they know the number and name.
but boy, did they get this one wrong!
Called the number anyway, and it was the Westpac Help Line.
But Westpac Help Line is so useless, I couldn't actually get them to understand this problem!

Was not making any deposit this is a scam!

I just found this in my SMS history, I don't remember receiving this text and have no idea what it's about

"Do not share this code. Enter SMS Code: 715129 to access your contact details. Unexpected message? Call 1300 655 505."

Received a text message asking me to call that number as my "account was blocked". I thought it was scam. I tried to access my account online and it was locked. Therefore I called my bank on a different number, and eventually I found out that a payment I tried to make online was deemed "suspicious" and the bank had blocked it. I think that the number in the SMS may be the Westpac fraud department.
