We’re aware customers today may have been targeted by an attempted phishing scam that is being sent via SMS. The message looks as if it is from Bankwest and asks customers to click on a link.

We’ll never contact our customers via SMS/email to ask them to click on a link. If you have received this message please ignore and delete it ASAP.

 

If you’re ever uncertain about any digital correspondence you’ve received from Bankwest, please forward it to abuse@security.bankwest.com.au (emails) or 0428 812 998 (SMS messages) for further investigation.

 

Find out how you can stay safe here;

If you've clicked on a link provided in a hoax SMS, we'd ask you to get in touch ASAP. We're available 24/7 365 on 13 17 19.

Hi there!

 

I know there are Xero users among your customers. Please inform them of Xero being faked by crooks.

 

 'The most common type of the Xero email scam mimics a subscription invoice. The booby-trapped messages may contain one of the following phrases in the subject field: “Xero: Your Monthly Review”, “Your Xero Invoice”, or “Your latest Xero subscription invoice”. '
