I just received a email from "nationwide", but i don't think they have my email address, so is this email actually real? I just need to make sure incase i do something wrong or whatever.

Looked mostly legit except for "To Get Started,Please Click On The Link Below" which is like the only spelling/grammar mistake..

[A4AOwen]

theres a lot of these around. Most are scams. They actually have everything except 3 numbers on the back of your card. All they need is them 3 numbers then theyll be spending ur money online. Thats if it is a scam. and remember, DONT enter ur card details unless its a trusted url i.e. secure.imworldwide.com and it has https:// in the address bar.

fake, they would adress you with your real name and call you on the phone, not email you.

Well when did u get the email because it says it was on the 19.1.2007 and so if that is the day it was sent, then ur account has been blocked. Also, right click on the link and click properties and see what the target is?!

I received the email when i came online today, so i think it would of been todays/yesterdays date, so it can't be that date?

Thanks for pointing that out! +rep. ;)
