Exclamation can i have your bank card number and pin?

............no??
But how many people give it out without realising what they have done?

Ive just got an email from 'natwest' saying someone has tried to
access my account...

ive had a nosy at it and although it does look very convincing,heres what make me think its a con...

I am not a natwest customer, it was sent to various different email addresses and not just me, they cant spell properly.

It connects you to a website identical to the real natwest one..... and the worse one of all IT ASKS FOR YOUR PIN ! and cash card number and password!

watch out.. and never give anyone your pin.

Never, not yet away, fall for anything like that. Too street wise as an eastender.

I had a similar email, only this time from HSBC. Didnt bother going into it as I dont bank with HSBC, so I guessed it was a con. If some one had tried to access my account, I take no notice of emails, I want a phone call!

I get at 3 of these emails everyday on my work emails, which I clearly do not use for banking purposes! The main give away is that they address you as 'Dear Customer' - if you look at the info on the real bank websites about spoof and phising this is the one comment they always mak . They will only refer to you by name, information hackers do not (necessarily) have. I like to do my bit for the security of online accounts and report as many of the emails as possible to the banks. They often have a specific email you can forward the spoof mail to. For example, paypal's designated email address is spoof@paypal.com.
