Warning: Phishing scam – Nationwide
The telephone number 07946513975 is being used as part of a phishing scam in which Nationwide users are targeted for their bank and personal details. The number may appear on a text as +447946513975 and will include a link for you to click on. There will also be a message suggesting there has been a payment from your bank account from a new device. You will be invited to click on a link to check on the payment. Needless to say you should not click on the link.

In response to the tweet above Nationwide confirmed that the number 07946513975 is indeed used by phishing scammers and is not a genuine communication from Nationwide.
They also advised that any text from Nationwide will appear on your phone as from them rather than appearing as a mobile number. They also revealed that any communication from Nationwide will include the last four digits of your card number. If you do receive a text from Nationwide that you believe is fake then contact them by emailing the details to:
