  • It's called phishing. All you can do is delete the messages. Most decent e-mail providers filter these out.

    You need to edit your post so that it doesn't link to the dodgy site that the message is trying to direct you to!

    It's not spam, and it isn't from Natwest.

    Some email providers allow you to block certain key words like 'Natwest'. Since you say you don't bank with them you could try this.
    something missing
  • You need to remove that link incase someone inadvertantly presses on it.
  • Block the email addy it's coming from.

  • I've had that one as well, even though I don't bank with them- and I've had a pretty much identicle one allegedly from RBS too.
