checking my online account tonight and noticed a $500 ATM withdrawal
rang bank and found out that a cardless withdraw was used by someone who called my bank and answered some security questions
bank gave them a code they punched it into the ATM and got $500 no card no pin
i have now got a security word installed so no word no cash

you should get your money back from your bank, but how the hell those people knew your security questions?

Don't these careless withdrawals require a pin to be sent to a mobile number? I guess the number can be a pre paid account.
Either way, the person who did this is obviously known to you if they passed the security questions with the bank.

these questions were asked by westpac:
1) what NRL team do you follow
2) who was Kennel member ZEE formaly known as
3) who is the biggest Josh Reynolds Fan
4) How Many investment properties does ZEE own

Now tell me is that secure enough ?

Or it could be that the mufti has hit back hard. You've kinda assumed his identity in here (see avatars lol) so he's decided to take your identity...and money.

That's a dodgy bank, probably an inside job.
I cancelled my card a few months ago due to online fraud and had to attend the bank with 100 points of id everytime i wanted to withdraw cash.
