Got a call from someone posing as Westpac, asking under the guise of “marketing purposes” whether I hold a home loan elsewhere. Sounds sketchy, pretty sure it was a scam. lol

専門家の見解
Calls mimicking major banks like this one pop up more often than you'd expect, especially when they probe for financial details under the guise of 'marketing.' The single report describes a caller posing as Westpac, asking about home loans with competitors, which screams potential scam—legitimate banks rarely cold-call for such info without prior context. Hang up immediately if you get something similar; never share personal or banking details over unsolicited calls. Verify by contacting the bank directly through official channels, like their app or known number. Block the line and report to authorities like the ACCC in Australia to help track these fraudsters. Stay vigilant—scammers evolve tactics quickly.
