Caller: Westpac

Per Reefhunter, this is Westpac's fair dinkum SMS Protect number, as you can see on their website. But scammers are likely spoofing it. The problem is when the number gets blocked completely by a telco because of the scammers … and then you can't get Westpac's actual SMS codes.

Caller: Text Message saying to enter code to process payment.

Called number, recorded message says "number is disconnected". Bank fraud text message, do not reply. Did not make any payments, fraudulent text sending me an code to enter to process my payment. Fraudulent as did not make any payments.

Received sms security code to approve online transaction, ignored as I don't have a Westpac account.

Caller: Westpac

I can confirm also It is the Westpac verification service.

Caller: Scam

I get bombarded with messages from this "Wespac" number. I don't have an account, never had, and will receive about 5 or 6 in a row,

As a Westpac customer, I receive texts from this number (almost instantly) with codes to confirm legitimate payments I am making to new payees. It has never once asked for any of my details. The phone number provided in the text 1300 655 505) is Westpac's online customer service number. If you're receiving texts from this number and aren't trying to make an online payment yourself I'd suggest calling right away - this is a security measure put by the bank to protect you from fraudulent activity!

received three texts simultaneously saying it was am SMS security code to approve online transaction, definitely a scam/fake as no online transactions and doesn't tell you what online transaction...

I have had 3 SMS security code to approve online transaction since 12 July 2021. I have had my mobile number for many many years & was previously a Westpac customer but not for 15 plus years, if this is a Westpac system I am confused. Have reported “misuse” to Telstra.

Caller: Westpac

A verification code sent sms at 2 am to my phone activate in 10 min or its obsolete. Well I do not bank with westpac. Defiantly scam. Please do not try to activate or u give access to your phone info. And for the record my phone number I have had for over 10 years. Banks do not do business this way. Go to your own app on your phone check there not some random sms

Caller: Scam

Total SCAM. Do Not be fooled. They send two SMS. First to gain access Second to transfer money. It will be too late for you,when you discover the theft.

Caller: SMS

Text saying "Your SMS Security code to approve your transaction is" and then a 6 digit number. Got 4 of them within a few seconds.

Caller: SMS

First message said "SMS code for LOST ON BARKLY PTY LTD requires activation. Please sign in to Westpac Live and go to Preferences to complete. Then two messages, identical apart from code # sent within seconds of each other:-
“Enter SMS Code ###### to access your contact details. Unexpected message? Call 1300 655 505
Definitely scam

Caller: 0448 222 001

Just to clarify....0448222001 is a genuine number used by Westpac to send security codes HOWEVER the scam purports to be this number. The difference is that a genuine Westpac text states "Unexpected SMS? Call 1300 655 505. The scam version has this information but then includes a link beneath this. Don't click on it!

sent me a message this morning and advised me to contact Westpac on 1300 number which is not my bank. If you have received similar text messages, better check on google if the mobile phone is existed before clicking on any links.
