Presumably the real link is to something else, because that one actually is NatWest Online Banking, so not very successful as a phishing attempt.

I get loads of phishing emails from NatWest; sometimes several of them in one day. I don't need to open them to know they are scams because I don't have an account with NatWest.

That's where I love my gmail accounts. You rarely get any of these spams into your inbox since they automatically go into the spam folder, if they get as far as reaching you at all.

It's probably some guys in the NSA that are watching over me, lol........

I get emails from various banks from time to time (none of which I bank with) and I use Gmail, so they all get caught in the spam anyway.

Even if I got emails from the banks I use, I would never open them, let alone click on any links in the email. I would always log in separately and there would be a message from them if there was a problem.

Common sense really.
