Scam

I have received two text messages from this number. The first asking me to confirm a passcode to authenticate a $600 account for Coles. I contacted the NAB who confirmed it was a scam. Sometime later, I then got a second text along the same lines. Then yesterday I got a third text. All three asked me to ring the number specified here. I've just checked it out and happy to have you confirm it as a scam. The thing that has me concerned is that I use that Bank Account very seldomly and usually to transfer money to my main bank. There are only two payments out from that account other than the transfers: one to my friend's bank and one to an electrician two years ago. It's almost as if someone (not my friend) has sold my mobile number and bank account to a third party.

I received this text message from NAB (National Australia Bank), which I do have an account with. This is the second message I've received instructing me to call a specific number. The content was as follows: "FROM NAB: Your One-time passcode is 479626 to authenticate $370 AUD to AIRBNB. If this was not you, please call NAB on (02) 9497 5074 REF: XPKRIS1."

This caller claimed to be from NAB, which initially seemed legitimate. However, after researching the phone number, I found out it belongs to a recruitment agency. I strongly believe this is a scam.

I do not bank with NAB. Another phishing scam that is supposedly from NAB. The text message says "From NAB: Your one time passcode is xxxxxx to authenticate BPAY 362$ AUD to CHAN LTD. Pleaase call NAB on 0294975074 REF: NA9994"

I have deleted it.

I received a text message from this number, stating it was from NAB, alerting me that a new device had been registered using my NAB ID and instructed me to call (02) 9497 5074 if this wasn't me. I believe this is definitely a scam, as I am not even a NAB account holder.

Similar to other comments - supposedly from NAB - this is the 'Flash SMS' message, verbatim:

FROM NAB: We noticed you are attempting to register a new device in Auckland, NZ. If you don't recognise this, please call us on 0294975074.

REF: DRF78432.

Scam

This report describes a Flash SMS message received from someone claiming to be NAB (National Australia Bank). The message states: "FROM NAB: We noticed you are attempting to register a new device in Auckland, NZ. If you don't recognise this, please call us on (02) 9497 5074. REF: DRF78432". This content suggests that the message might be a phishing attempt, so caution is advised.

I don't have a NAB account but I just received a text saying my NAB ID was accessed from a device in Auckland. Obviously a scam. Blocked, deleted.

I received a message warning me that my NAB account ID had been accessed from a device located in Auckland, NZ. It instructs me to call urgently if this activity wasn’t me, but I don’t even have a NAB account!

J

Scam

When I answered the call, I heard recorded music on hold that sounded legitimate, like something from NAB. I also received the same text message from them. The caller then asked me which bank I use, but I refused to provide that information. They hung up shortly after. When I called the number back to report them, they simply hung up again. I strongly advise against calling this number back.

FROM NAB: Your NAB ID has been.

Accessed from a device. Location:

Auckland, NZ. If this was NOT you,

Please call us urgently on 0294975074 REF: QFD39923.

Unfortunately, I gave my card details because he said he will give me a new card and will cancel the said attempted transaction. But then after the call, I saw on my account that $284 was used in ZARA london which I didn't make. I immediately went to NAB branch and they will make an investigation. Hopefully it would be refunded back to me as all the emails and messages looked exactly like NAB!!!!!

Like many others, I received a text message about unauthorized activity on my (non-existent) NAB account in Auckland, NZ. The message urged me to call this number. I feel tempted to call just to express my frustration to whoever answers.
