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.
