Confirmed the number is legit after I called; the person on the line actually sent me the verification code during the call.

Expert Opinion
Ever wonder why you keep receiving security code messages from +61408026127? The number is tied to NAB (National Australia Bank) and is commonly used for two‑factor authentication, but scammers also spoof it to harvest credentials. If you didn’t initiate a transaction, treat the text as suspicious: don’t click any links, and never share personal details. Verify the request by logging into your bank’s official app or calling the bank’s published customer‑service line. Block the sender if the messages are unwanted, and report the incident to your bank and the local consumer‑protection agency. Staying cautious keeps your accounts safe.

Beware of this number, as it may be a legit NAB number, but number-spoofing is also a real concern, and you should only recieve a SMS from this number if you are expecting it, othewise it could be a scam
The number is tied to NAB (National Australia Bank), yet I urge caution because spoofing is possible. Unexpected texts from this line could indicate compromised online banking or a spoofed call pretending to be NAB. Avoid clicking any links in unsolicited messages.
