REF# 3109 Important Information Regarding Your Account

Back to the threatening type of phishing emails with the latest one. Trying to convince us that an ATM transaction has taken place and we should use the link enclosed to check the transaction / reopen access to the account.

But of course, although the link says it's going to the Nationwide site, you only need to look at where it's actually pointing to and it's nothing like the bank's website.

Just to try to be clever the email address has been inserted into the opening, but what bank would refer to customers by their email address? Not very personal!

Here it is - as always don't trust it, it's a con.

Dear [email address removed]
,
We recently reviewed your account, and we suspect an unauthorized ATM based transaction. Therefore as
a preventive measure we will temporary limit your access to sensitive Nationwide features. To ensure that
your account is not compromised, please login to your Nationwide Internet Banking and verify your identity to
prevent deactivation.
SERVICE: Nationwide Internet Banking.
What you need to do:
- Go to: Nationwide Internet Banking
http://nationwide.co.uk/default.htm/
- Login to Internet Banking.

Thanks for your patience.
Sincerely,
Nationwide Centre
