Well, the first sentence would have given me a clue

"esterblished"

Don't think I'd be overly concerned about my "infomation"

And the last sentence doesn't do a lot for their authenticity.....

I got one of them the other week.

If I'd ever actually banked at Nationwide they might have got me. Honest.

It's OK, I spoke with someone on the phone who asked me for my pin number and account details. They also asked me to turn my card to Mr Uv Binhad in Nigeria. I've sent it recorded delivery to be safe
