Warning! Nationwide Business Internet Scam
Heads up people! There is a new scam going on you should be aware of.
I received an email from "Nationwide Bank" telling me there have been several attempts by several computers to log into my bank account. This email wanted me to verify my account and password setting by clicking on a link included in the email.
I am a writer not a rep. for this company. I have written this article to notify my readers of a scam being used under the name of this company. I can not review your account. Please do not send an email to me asking me to check on the statis of your account or your winnings. I repeat.... I Do Not work for this company.

Internet Scam
How I know this is a scam:
- I don't have a Nationwide account
- I would never use my email account which they sent this message to for banking use
- There were a couple of typos in the letter
- The html was messed up on the letter and it was sent to me rather scrambled
- The company would ask you to change passwords and use security measures not just verify your account.
This is not the first letter I have gotten like this.
Email Scams - Your Finance Information
- Do not follow the links listed in the email
- Do not contact the sender of the email
- Go to the company web page to report the email you have received
- Follow the instructions provided by the company at the company web site for security problems
- Set up a separate email account just for business purposes
- Never use an email account which you use for online purchases, etc.
Here is the Email I received from the Scammers:

Jimmy,
Thanks for the insight, I get these same types of messages from Ebay, too.
Susan
I used to have a good ebay sellers account but one day i tried to get into it and someone else had taken control of it, it is now being used by a conman who has bogus points and bogus feedback. if you look up jimmythejock on ebay it is still there even after i complained several times to them.
a bank will never ask you to verifiy your shit over the interweb.
Wow!
Do you have any idea how they got into your account? I'm like you and have a great standing with ebay. I sure wouldn't want this to happen to me!
Susan
havent a clue lol ,i just tried to log in one day to make a bid and my pass word wouldn't work.....jimmy
I have had these problems as well. First it was Bank of America where I have never had an account and then with Wells Fargo where I have had an account for about 20 years. When getting these emails, simply call the bank in question and they will give you an email to report this abuse. It is very helpful to the banks to receive this information before you delete the emails. This way they can keep track of where all of the fraudulant emails are coming from.
Thank you for letting me know because In March I had a problem with spyware on my computer and they got into my email and set up on my computer a credit report that I never knew of and took money out of my account. I also got an email from a bank out in a different country and they told me to put money in the account and I also got another letter that someone was dying from cancer and wanted me to be their person to get their money if they died in surgery and I got another one after that. I have not opened any of them I delete them and I also found out if you delete them and check the trash they are not in there and that's how I know that they are not real and they are fake. Thanks again for the information.
Jill,
How awful!
Susan Peters
scam would continue to exist as long as there is internet and most important of all there are gullible people who will fall for it.
It is us, the consumers who are suppose to take ample precaution measure to guard ourself and our belongings from falling prey to these scumbags.
The eisiest rule to follow so that your banking or any finance related account not to be hacked upon is, to NEVER EVER GET INTO YOUR ACCOUNT BY CLICKING LINK FROM E-MAIL. No sites be it you banking site, PayPay, e-Gold, StormPay whatever will ever ask you to access your account for any reason from email. It is as simple as that, The email asks you to verify whatever by clicking on a link, its a scam.
Now, instead of just ignoring these email, we could and should forward the exact email to the support department of the said site. Even if you do ot have any account with them, just send an email, attaching the scam. To the very least, the site can alert other members.
Togather we can eradicate scammers by being vigilant ourselves and reduce the number of gullibles.
Tommy,
You have provided great advice! Readers, follow the advice of TommyGuy!
Susan Peters
I've gotten lots of such phishing emails, both for banks where I don't have accounts and involving our E-Bay account.
Always cover your hand over pin number!
Good advice, Prophet!
Susan
Thanks for the info...I have received a couple of email like that too...I even recieved an email saying I won in the contest I never joined.
Len,
I received a message from "Ebay" today telling me the package I sent has never been received (came from someone who was supposedly buying something I had offered for bid). This email went on to tell me that I was going to receive negative remarks. I don't use the email account they sent the message to for Ebay. The email looked and had the feel of a real deal, though.
Just another scam!
Susan

want manchester address of nationwide bank and website address with contact and fax numberws
Prashanth,
Please consult your banking statements for reliable information. You may also use AT&T search to find the information you are looking for.
I recently have received the letter that I have won the big sum of money. This bank requests of me numbers of my accounts in other banks..It is the address from which to me the letter was sent DIRECTOR OF OPERATION NATION WIDE BANK <nwbnk@hotmail.com>
If you have any questions about your account you need to contact your bank via telephone and ask them. If you don't have a Nationwide account...It is a SCAM!
Susan
Dear Sir,
i have also received a mail same as Mr.V. Krishna rao which was written to u 4weeks ago. Pls suggest what should be done
Trupti,
You should follow the suggestions in the article telling you what to do if you happen to receive one of these emails. Then, you should also follow the suggestion I gave just above your comment.
If you have any questions about your account you need to contact your bank via telephone and ask them. If you don't have a Nationwide account...It is a SCAM!
Susan
hi,
I received an email saying that I have won GBP 97,500 from NationWide bank.I dnt knw I guess it shud be scam.So i mailed to the bank directly but haven't got reply so far.Plz lemme knw wts going on..
Thanks,
Jas.
The real problems are the perfectly legal scams pulled by the banks against their credit card holders and mortgagees.
Good hub, however, Susan, as usual.
Jas,
Do you hold an account with this company? If not, they have no reason to award you with any type of price let alone an expensive prize.
Many people have reported, just what you have described to me, as a scam.
Susan
Ralph,
You are so right about banks and other types of companies scamming their own customers. Thanks for the heads-up.
Thanks for the the credit!
Susan
Hi ,
They said there was a survey from Yahoo and Hotmail about frequent users.I won somehow and they awarded me the amount.I send the mail to the person and the bank(phishing@nationwide.co.uk) -No reply from bank and person from I received mails said it is not scam,everythig is for real.1 thing that bothers me that All the mails i receive in this regards comes from Yahoo.co.uk..Not from nationwidebank.Bank is showing no initiative to resolve the issue..They can easily help us but they are not.So reluctant in helping the ppl.Can't believe it...
Plz tell me wt shud i do nw.
Thanks,
Jas.
Jas,
Block the sender of the email. Contact the hotmail folks and Yahoo letting them know the sender's address. When you click an item as unsafe this should notify your email account provider, as well.
It is a shame that Nationwide won't or can't do anything about this email. I would disreguard the email and block it the best that I could. If you provided any personal information such as passwords, etc. be sure and change those right away. It would be a safe thing to do...change your passwords anyway.
Best of luck,
Susan

i receive a mail that i won a prize of 1million pound and . This money is depositted in nationwide bank. is it true or false
Sandy,
Did you enter a contest to win this money? Do not follow the instructions in the mail you received. Call the company if you feel you have truely won this money. I'm doubtful the mail you recived is an honest attempt to give money to you but rather take your money from you.
Be careful,
Susan
i received a mail from nation wide bank same as lottery(yahoo)is it true or false plz intimate

I have just stumbled across this discussion forum and am wondering whether it is meant as a joke.
Nationwide is a Building Society, not a Bank; its headquarters are in Swindon, not Manchester.
"I send the mail to the person and the bank(phishing@nationwide.co.uk) ..." is meaningless: there is no 'Nationwide Bank'.
'Attorney' is an american term, in England we say 'solicitor': there are no attorneys in Manchester or anywhere else in England.
UK telephone numbers beginning with '7' (such as +44-704-576-9996) are for cell phones only.
When an email says you have won the moon, it's either a rubber one which you have to blow up or a picture of someone's ass.
Thank you for making me laugh. What me worry now.

Bless you for being sane! Alfred E. Neuman...this is just Madd! I'm glad you have shared your wisdom.

Come on people, wakeup. Just ignore such mails.

i get emails all of the time from many banks other than my own claiming that there is a problem with my account and if i confirm my account number and pin they will fix it for me. any email i do get from my bank is in my bank account when i log in. they will not send mail to my email address except to say you have mail in your account, if more banksdid this it would be safer for us all and would help us avoid the scammers....jimmy
