if you get any calls like this, i would ask them to put stuff in writing....MBNA send out loads of "pre-approved" credit card letters, so sending out a personal letter shouldn't be too much of a problem
MBNA are the credit card providers for the Abbey (we don't have our own credit cards for some reason) and i KNOW that there has been a few scams going round, where people have claimed to be calling from the Abbey (and other banks also).... get them to write a letter and do not give out any sort of info over the phone (think we discussed something similiar in another thread where i made peeps aware of the problem)

i had a loans company call me up a few months ago and ask me questions about my on-line application for a loan, was not impressed at all and made sure i got the guys name and the phone number for the company (and actually checked it agasint the one on the web site) but i still reckon it was a scam
