NatWest customers are being warned not to ‘take the bait’ and click on links in emails that ask them to verify or update their account details as they are phishing scams sent by criminals trying to steal personal and financial information. Action Fraud recently raised the alarm on X (formerly twitter) after it received 1,478 reports of fake emails purporting to be from NatWest in just two weeks.
The emails claim that the recipient needs to ‘verify’ or ‘update’ their bank account information in order to maintain access to their online banking. However, Action Fraud warns that the links in the emails lead to malicious websites that are designed to steal personal and financial information.
Action Fraud posted on X: “Have you received one of these emails asking you to verify or update your NatWest account details? Don’t take the bait! The emails are FAKE and the links lead to malicious websites that are designed to steal your personal and financial information.”
Advice from Action Fraud is that if you have doubts about a message, contact the organisation directly. Don't use the numbers or address in the message - use the details from their official website. Your bank, or any other official source, will never ask you to supply personal information through email.
If you receive a suspicious email, you can forward it to the Suspicious Email Reporting Service (SERS) - [email protected].
People in Scotland can also report any suspected scams to its scamwatch service - run by Advice Direct Scotland - which can then be shared with the relevant authorities. Find out more about the service here.
