Have you received a text message from your bank asking you to confirm your mobile phone number?\u00a0If\u00a0you a customer of Commonwealth Bank, you’ll definitely want to watch out for this text message scam asking you to verify your mobile phone number.<\/p>\n

If you have received this message, take a minute to notice what is wrong in the text.<\/p>\n

\"Commonwealth<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The phone number is sent from a +1 country code which is the USA and Canada.<\/li>\n
  2. The web address is not what it should be if it really were the Commonwealth Bank somehow using a North American number instead of an Australian one:\n
      \n
    • It does not start with https:\/\/\u00a0<\/strong>– the Commonwealth Bank’s website is secured with a SSL Certificate (which shows up as a padlock in the address bar)<\/li>\n
    • The top level domain name is incredibly long as it is ‘my.commbank.netbank.com.comnbank.online<\/strong>‘.\n
        \n
      • It does not end in a .com.au<\/li>\n
      • Commbank is misspelled as comn<\/strong>bank<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        If you have received this message from your bank (even if it is not Commonwealth Bank), please report it to the Australian Cybercrime Online Reporting Network at www.acorn.gov.au.<\/p>\n

        If you are not sure whether you have received a legitimate text message from your bank – call their customer support helpline directly. Do not click on the link or reply back to the text message!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
