As per title received a sms from an 028 number that looks fraudulent claiming to be westpac and notifying me that I have 2 messages from westpac(I usually get letters from westpac)

“Westpac - 2 New Messages - Please log in using link provided and respond to these - [redacted link so nobody clicks this dodgy link]”

Haven’t looked at it but should probably give the heads up.

Curious if I should let my cell carrier know too. Already told westpac what happened.

Forward the message to SPAM (7726) and delete it. If you like, report the URL for phishing here: https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/
