Possible 'Natwest' scam

[Basik]

Just got an email from something saying it was Natwest, and that my account had been put on hold.

I've never had an account with Natwest, so must be some sort of scam.

It basically says your account is on hold, and there is a link which tells you to change details or something (didn't bother clicking on it)

Just letting you all know

Yep these are pretty common for all banks. If you hold your mouse over the link it will usually show you the link. Look carefully and you will see that it does not actually go to Natwest.com Normally it goes to accounts.natwest.scam.ru or something like that.

Never click those links, always enter the url yourself to ensure that you are going to the right place.
