How to spot the difference between SMS security codes?
ALDI Mobile customers receive two types of SMS security codes, and knowing which is which is the key to staying safe.
Code type 1 - triggered online (My ALDI Mobile):
"DO NOT SHARE THIS CODE if you did not request a high-risk transaction on your account, or for this number to be transferred to ALDI Mobile. If someone has called you and is asking for the code, it's a scam. Your code is XXXXXX. If this wasn't you and need help, call 1300 989 000 (8am-9pm AET)."
This code may be sent for 2 different reasons. Firstly, this code is sent whenever someone logs into My ALDI Mobile and requests a high-risk transaction - this could be triggered by a scammer who may have access to your account.
The other reason this code may be sent to a mobile number is when we have received a request to transfer that mobile number to ALDI Mobile.
If you receive this code unexpectedly, and do not understand why you received it, do not share it with anyone - including someone who has contacted you and claimed to be an ALDI Mobile team member.
Code type 2 - sent by an ALDI Mobile team member:
"An ALDI Mobile team member you've been communicating with has requested a high-risk transaction on your account. Your code to authorise this is XXXXXX. Not in contact with us? Call 1300 989 000 (8am-9pm AET)."
This is the only code our team will ever ask you to share during a call. If someone asks for a code that doesn't say this, hang up immediately.
