Worrying emails from banks
Had two emails in the past week regarding online bank account access with natwest and abbey national, both from the banks proper email addresses(Onlinebanking@natwest.co.uk & account.review@abbey.com)
Both emails seem dodgy as fuck though, and i haven't got bank accounts with either. Trying to work out if they are scam mails, or if some cunt has stolen my identity

A Bank will never email you mate - Never! They will only contact you through letter or if urgently by phone. All emails from banks are scams and are using the 'phishing' scam.

They're not getting any of my details that's for sure, but i'm wondering how they got this email address as it's my "secret" one that shouldn't be getting any spam mail

Still do not consider it even with "real" e-mail addresses. A guy i knew designed a program were you could send e-mails and have their email show up as something else. I used to pretend to send e-mails as a member of staff in my school

I get these all the time.... they are Phishing emails.
You can either call the supposed bank that it has supposedly come from and tell them... they may ask you to send it to their Security department so that they can trace where it has come from and get the authorities on to it...
or
Just delete it, don't open it and especially don't click on any links or buttons that are included within the email.

Sick of these e-mails.
Since I got my Elite Car Detailing account, that's all I seem to get.

It's easy to spoof an email, If you use Opera you can do a fraud check on sites your not sure of.
When i get these emails i just fill them in with a bunch of f**k you's etc.

our lass gets them all time couple a day. She even got one from ebay other day she'd bought something fake off there and the seller got banned couple of days later an email came thru saying she had been banned for using that seller and to sign in thru the email will have been the seller wanting to get back selling.

I get them every now and then, its just someone trying to scam you i reckon!! You can always forward the emails to the actual banks and they do something or other with them then, not too sure what. Whenever i sign into my natwest online account it tells me if i ever receive dodgy emails then i should send it to them and i have once or twice!!
