Whenever I get these they are usually quite amateurish and/or contain spelling mistakes,like spelling the bank name wrong!!

that's what threw me with this one, I went on the nationwide site after I got the e-mail and it's identical, anyway I've contacted them and sent on the e-mail, thanks for your advise everyone!

I found it. The info is here: http://www.nationwide.co.uk/security/reporting_suspicious_e-mails/

It's not from Nationwide, it's from a scammer.
The best thing to do with emails like this is hit the delete button

If you hover over the link it will show the actaul address which is not Nationwide. Also the website address for Nationwide is not a link - this would be if the e-mail was genuine. I get them for Lloyds, Nationwide & Halifax at the moment. Once your e-mail address is out there you get loads. I get them because I deal with a club's e-mails & it is on a major website.

I got the Nationwide one and the Lloyds one. I would like to think that someone out there in big brother land picks up on these things and trys to catch the people responsible. But then it's not the banks that lose out so perhaps not.

If everyone who received one of these emails replied with completely false log-on details the scammers who send them out would be so busy they wouldn't have time to send anymore.
