If you are in Australia - it's from Woolworths. If you share a card with your partner and the account is linked to your email you will get this message if your partner is trying to log in.

That 1300 number is legit

Funny how I got the same text this morning but I don't have an everyday rewards card…..

Scam. And, Woolworths will do nothing. Just another scam and a Big Company that couldn't care less about Australians privacy, security, or alignment with the Company.
Greed. Your nothing and they do not care.

I did my first delivery yesterday with Woolworths and received the same message what’s the code for?

Had one. Spoke to my wife a BIGW and was trying to install something but the code was coming to me.

I received it too but haven't purchased anything online from Woolies. I believe it's a scam too, best to block and delete

So far today, 24 June 2022, I've received the verification code 4 times. I'm a teenager, and I'm not signed up for Woolworths online.

I received the same message today on 28/1/22, but I didn't buy anything from woolworth today, is this a scam?

an anonymous userhttps://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/users/#an-anonymous-user · Answer 15 · January 10, 2022

Got the same text message today and April 2021 but did not previously sign up for woolies reward. I got 3 consecutive messages with different verification codes within a span of 5mins.

Apparently some Woolworths related to the rewards card.

I’ve had about 30 of these texts in the past 5 minutes!! I have no idea what’s going on. Didn’t log in or anything I was just homeschooling my kids

an anonymous userhttps://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/users/#an-anonymous-user · Answer 19 · August 31, 2021

This is Woolworths Everyday Rewards requesting a verification code. They have a new login system where you can request a code before (instead of) putting in a password. I wonder if this is why some people are getting messages when not trying to log in?)
