Text asking to verify a payment

I always check on Who Rang Me.. never never call/email back

Do not respond!! ... not even to say it's not your bill/account, etc.

Dang scammers~~~

You know you don't have an account - so why bother checking the number?

I regularly get that type of thing from various banks/financial places even though I've never been with them! I register them as scam and block them.

Same with ''you've won a trillion quid from the National Lottery, ring NOW to confirm address''. I never do the lotto or any other gambling!

Good to know. Thanks!

Just ring the Nationwide, using a mumber from their official website and check.

The OP has stated in the opening post they don't have any Nationwide accounts.

You do not need to have an account to ask them to confirm it is a spam.

And, since the OP is warning other people who may have Nationwide accounts, this is a way that they can confirmj that it is indeed a spam email they have received.

This sort of spam is very common. I must get at least one a week, most of them for financial providers I do not have any commection with.

Google Who Called Me

For your safety, do not share personal information over the phone, avoid installing any apps or software at the request of the caller, and resist making rushed decisions under pressure, especially regarding money transfers.

I google ‘who’s number’ and it will usually tell you if it’s a legitimate number or a scammers number.

Thanks

I'm very wary of any unexpected emails and texts now. Just annoying to have to spend time checking them.

There are quite a few chancers about. I had a text asking me to ring a 0345 number to listen to my voicemails. I haven't got a voicemail facility on my 'phone. Marked as spam now.

They're up to all the dodges, have to keep one step ahead of them...thanks for telling us...

That's a new one! Thanks for the warning
