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.

Unfortunately someone always falls for it.

A bank would never ask you to do that. They do look so genuine though don't they?

Install a decent browser like the new version of Opera(http://opera.com). They include fraud protection in that they can identify sites that are pretending to be something they aren't.

However... you have done a bad thing. You see when you clicked the link you validated YOUR email address as a valid and active one. prepare to be spammed to high heaven as they will sell your email addy to all the spammers in the world.
