    Sounds like OP has been receiving some spam.

    If you ever get email from your bank just delete it. If they really need to get in touch they'll phone you.

    I don't think they are spam - they fit perfectly with this description, from http://www.nationwide.co.uk/security/secure-online-banking/e-mail-security.htm :
    From time to time we may e-mail you with details of our products and services that we feel may be of interest to you.
    These e-mails will come from Nationwide@nationwidebuildingsociety-email.co.uk and will always display your postcode at the top and bottom of the e-mail so you can be sure that it is genuine.

    Personally, I am aware of the risks of links, so did just delete them, but many other people are not as aware of online security as you and I.

    Genuine e-mail contact from Lloyds TSB – an update
    * Over the last 3 weeks we have not sent you any emails.

    * We will not send you any emails for the rest of the year unless this is in response to an instruction that you have asked us to carry out for you.

    We will NEVER email you asking for your logon details or directing you to a page that asks you to type in this information.

    If you receive a suspicious email please do not reply but forward it to our investigations team at [EMAIL="emailscams@lloydstsb.co.uk."]emailscams@lloydstsb.co.uk.[/EMAIL]
