We’ve recently had a number of our customers reach out to us about some suspicious phone calls they’ve received wanting large payments confirmed over the phone.

These calls are appearing from individuals claiming to be ‘Visa’ or ‘Visa Fraud’, specifically targeting people with an automated message before continuing the call. 

A reminder to all customers that whilst we do monitor accounts to ensure security, we will never ask you to supply full card information over the phone. If you ever suspect you’ve been targeted, end the conversation immediately, do not click on any links supplied and get in touch with us directly on 1300 004 863 to let us know and we can help ensure you and your account remains safe.

If you believe someone you know has been impacted by this, please be sure to share this information with them and take the necessary steps to secure their accounts. 

Phishing scams can take numerous forms, including phone calls, emails and SMS messages too. Visit Stay Smart Online to learn more about these scams and the best ways to protect yourself online.
