Email from Natwest

Was wondering if anyone else has received an email from Natwest. It says they've updated there online banking and need you to click on the link supplied to confirm.

I'm very confused as I don't have any money products with Natwest! I haven't clicked the link either.

Wondering if its a scam

best wishes

    100% phishing/scam e-mail hoping you'll click on the link and divulge your log in details if you had a Natwest account of course.
    You're wise not to click on the link - DON'T. Just delete the message. There's lots doing the rounds and not just Natwest. A bank or building society etc. will never ask for security details in an e-mail.
    No doubt it says "dear Natwest customer" or similar that's the first clue. Natwest would know the account holders name and should use it in any communication.
    If you feel so inclined it can be forwarded to [EMAIL="phishing@natwest.com"]phishing@natwest.com[/EMAIL]

    I've had this god knows how many times-I sent mine to [EMAIL="Phishing@natwest.com"]Phishing@natwest.com[/EMAIL] and they log it. I have had it about 8 times...it states somewhere, something like-''we demand that you take 5 minutes of your time''

    NO-ONE DEMANDS MY TIME-cheeky beggers...even if it was legitimate (which it categorically isn't) based on that wording, i'd tell them to sod off! Lol

    So in answer to your question-it is indeed a scam!

    I've had one from Lloyds recently. Poor scammers, you must be bloody desperate to want a Lloyds TSB account. :D

    Got one from `NatWest` this morning.
    Deleted it after I opened it.
    No telephone numbers, no real NatWest info, besides the logo.

    If its not pishing, then the bank can ring me - they got all my numbers!
