Expert Opinion

Imagine picking up a call from +61291554595 and hearing a voice claim to be from Westpac’s fraud team. The line frequently pops up in both genuine alerts about suspicious card activity and in reports of phishing attempts that ask for CVC codes or personal details. Because banks normally contact customers through secure in‑app messages or official numbers, treating any unsolicited phone request with caution is wise. Verify the call by hanging up and dialing the official Westpac contact number you find on the back of your card or on the bank’s website. Never share full card numbers, passwords or CVC over the phone. If the caller only asks for your name or the last four digits, you can usually confirm legitimacy, but still double‑check. Keep a log of the call and report suspicious numbers to your bank’s fraud department to help protect other customers.
