INCIDENTALLY was very surprised to receive an email from NatWest this week - urging us to validate' our bank account.
Apparently, so we were told, we had not yet completed the process of renewing our National Westminster bank online branch.
Those friendly NatWest chaps were desperate to validate us for security reasons.
And all they needed were a few small account details!
Hmmm, we've heard that one before as have many poor souls who have fallen victim to internet money scams in the past.
Unluckily for the cheeky culprits behind this latest con - and we're fully aware it wasn't NatWest at all - Incidentally doesn't even bank with NatWest.
So their evil yet not-so-well executed plan fell at the first hurdle, in our case at least.
Other bank customers please beware!
