NW BANK email alert.

Thanks Judy I'll keep an eye out for that one. I got a mail the other day entitled 'I'm in love' and it was a virus, msn virus scanner missed it too so it was lucky I had other protection on my computer mad

I got this e-mail this morning and it's not the first time I've received e-mails like this asking for account numbers/pin numbers /passwords etc ... best thing to do is just delete them ..don't reply to them just delete ..

Sage advice, London-chap.
Sad to say, I get literally a dozen or more such emails every day, many of them supposedly from banks I'm not even a member of. The best thing you can do is just hit delete.

I get them several times a week, along with the 'you've won an overseas lottery' and the 'I work in a bank with $250,000,000,000 I need to launder'. Delete does for me. They are nothing new, Judy, but thanks for letting us know.

What gave it away straight off was it came to a email address on my system that not even the most broad-minded young bank clerk or senior bank staff of whatever dubious gender or orientation would know about..........To my knowledge :P .

Be Warned, there's a number of these emails doing the rounds, from various different bank, not just Nat West. rolleyes

Thanks Judy for the "Heads up" ( :twisted: ) so to speak.
Due to the large number of these scams going round I would advise everyone not to click on any link in an email which may require them to enter personal information (username, password etc.). Instead, in your browser, type in the the address of the home page of the web site concerned, not the link given in the email, and log in the usual way. That way you can be sure you are not clicking a dodgy link.

Couldn't agree more. If in doubt - don't do it and check with your bank. If you're suspicious about a website then can help but, like many things, it's not foolproof.
