Nearly forgot... any emails that say they're from "Nationwide Bank" can safely be ignored too

Also, if you're in doubt about phishing emails, have a look at www.millersmiles.co.uk - they have shed loads of them - including the true URL and a screenshot of the scamming website, and it's searchable by financial institution too.
