I got an email from a friend that ended up in spam. It sounded very spammy and if it were genuine I could only wonder what my friend was going to announce at his event. Well I sent a grab of it to him and he said his email had been hacked. That's what they all say.

Account Verification Notice – Updated Tax Certification Required​

From Westpac on 2026-05-14 12:48

Hello,

This notice is provided to inform you that the W-8BEN certification currently associated with your account has expired and is no longer valid for tax documentation or compliance review purposes. The W-8BEN is used to confirm non-U.S. tax residency status and to support the appropriate application of withholding and reporting requirements under applicable tax regulations.

Maintaining valid tax documentation is required to ensure that account records remain accurate and compliant. Once a W-8BEN expires, it can no longer be used for tax certification, withholding determination, or regulatory reporting purposes. Until a renewed form is submitted and approved, standard withholding treatment or additional account review measures may apply.

To update your records, you are required to submit a renewed W-8BEN through the authorized secure documentation system. As part of the renewal process, you will be asked to review your existing information, confirm your tax residency details, and provide a new certification confirming that the submitted information is accurate and complete.

Please begin the renewal process through the secure portal below:——

Prompt completion of this renewal will help maintain accurate tax records, support proper withholding treatment, and ensure continued account compliance.

We're here to help.
