Nationwide flexaccount scam?
Discussion
Hi all
Just been sent a 'your Nationwide statement is ready to view' type email.
However, it also added that fees had been applied to my account - which, of course, their shouldn't have been. It looked exactly like a nationwide email should look - with postcode added at top of letter ( as they said they would do to make you feel it's genuine) and addressed to me by name. It looked so genuine - that I accessed my own account via the nationwide.co.uk website to check on my accounts ( didn't use the link in the e.mail and everything looks fine.
Have forwarded to their fraud hotline which is phishing@nationwide.co.uk
I had previously tried fraud @nationwide .co.uk which I would have thought would have been a lot more obvious.
Don't know if this is part of the big computer hack saga - but a heads up in case anyone else receives one.

The email is genuine (comes from the same address as other Nationwide emails, has my postcode at the top, the link in the email goes to the same website as all other emails from them). I expect it's an error on their system rather than phishing.
