Sympathies to Weiters. I had a narrow escape a couple of months ago but at the last minute I pulled the pin on the electronic dialog and went into the branch the next day. The staff there confirmed that the calls and texts were not from the bank. Just hope that all the branches are not closed down!

I call them if I need to. As for texts and emails with links? Delete.

Likewise. If I don't know the number then I don't answer it... if it's legit, they'll leave a message. The end. Same with text messages... unfamiliar - delete. The end.

Probably a bit harsh there Thry. It can happen to anyone, especially a professional sportsman with a million footy related things on his mind. It only takes one brain fade.
