Nationwide | Important Notice!

Here's a neat looking email, that was determined to get through as it was simultaneously sent to three possible email addresses within my domain, 1 being real. They even know my name, which could be worked out from the email, but the email was also sent to links@, using my name.

The target URL for the link is actually http://www.nationwide.co.uk.login.account.kmpa0up8vuocae0huto.31c5f18a7f.com/NationWide/secure/login/index.html?id=[id removed]. 31c5f18a7f.com is the subject to many Google search results about phishing sites.

Here's the email:
