    i would ring them first, and tell them where to go and to close the account.
    ask them to prove where and when the account was opened.

    Ask them where the proof of opening the account is. They would have to have your signature or 100 point check ID on file somewhere to back it up.

    Be careful though, you could have been the victim of identity theft and someone has opened an account in your name, but by the sound of the amount involved that seems unlikely.

    the thing is, i'v never ented an anz branch, except to withdraw money with a friend from his acc, so i dunno where this account is coming from.

    You don't need to enter a branch to open an account these days, normally only to provide ID once it has been confirmed.

    Chances are it is an honest mistake, but best you contact them or go in in person to prove who you are and see what has been transacted through the account and where. They won't give info out unless you prove who you say you are.

    Yes, but if someone has opened an account online and has stolen or forged your ID to complete the application you would have no idea. Probably why it is best to go in or phone and ask what the hell has gone on.
