We've been receiving calls where, upon answering, we're greeted by a recorded message claiming to be from Nationwide. Whether it's legitimate or not, we're choosing not to engage, as we find this method of customer interaction utterly unacceptable. If they wish to have a conversation, they should reach out to us directly.

We've both received the same text message, supposedly from Nationwide, urging us to call them and reference the letter F. What really raises our suspicions about this being a scam is the fact that I've never had an account with Nationwide. So it's puzzling why they would urgently need to get in touch with us! I’m just going to disregard this whole thing.

We've received one of these calls ourselves. We bank with NW, but I seriously doubt it's a premium rate scam, as it appears to be a standard geographical number rather than one of those 0870 or 0845 numbers. Has anyone actually dialled this number and experienced either a favourable or unfavourable result? Would be great to have some concrete feedback instead of just guessing!

Received a cheeky text message from them dated 03/12/2010. They claimed to be from Nationwide Building Society, referencing a Flex Account. Naturally, we were sceptical and responded with, "Show us your proof." They then demanded our date of birth, account number, and the first line of our address for "data protection" purposes. Quite the dodgy request if you ask me, as that’s exactly the sort of information someone would need to access your account! So we told them to get lost. The way she spoke felt almost convincing, but we weren’t falling for it. Cheers, Peter.

Just to let you know, this number is legitimate and definitely not a scam or a premium line. We’re customers of Nationwide ourselves, and it turns out these folks were really trying to contact us. This has been verified.

We've received an identical text message as well, just like yours. Honestly, I'm quite wary about calling the number back. It seems to me that if Nationwide really needed to get in touch with us urgently, they would pick up the phone and call rather than send a text. We’re convinced it's some sort of scam. It’s probably wise to keep our distance from it.

We also received a text from Nationwide asking us to urgently contact them on 01604796378, referencing text F. Naturally, we were a bit suspicious and decided to reach them through the number listed on their official website instead. As it turned out, that number was indeed legitimate, connecting us directly to the Nationwide Collections department. They were quite keen to have a chat regarding our overdraft situation. I must say, though, it seems rather daft to rely on SMS for such important matters. Many folks are wary of these texts, yet this one was definitely from the real Nationwide.

Earlier today, I received a call similar to the one mentioned, and I've just pinged off an email to Nationwide regarding this issue. It's crucial that folks are made aware of this being a scam. We’re considering giving the local authorities a ring to report it and see if we can get to the bottom of it.

We received a call similar to this one, claiming to be from Nationwide and referencing some text F. We're hesitant to make that call ourselves, especially considering that when Nationwide actually wanted to get in touch with us, it was always them who would reach out first.

I’ve just received the very same text and I don’t bank with Nationwide, so I thought I’d look up the number out of curiosity. Just a bit of a laugh really.

I received a text message today, 21st December 2010, which was quite similar to those mentioned earlier. I reached out to Nationwide using the contact numbers listed on their website, all starting with 0845. They assured me that under no circumstances would they reach out to customers via SMS, stating that all communication is done through post. So, I highly advise you to ignore any such messages!

We’ve just received a message that mirrors the exact wording. When Nationwide needs to get hold of us, I genuinely believe they would opt to call rather than send a text for something of such urgency. We’ll definitely be raising this issue as it seems rather concerning.

We’ve got one of these numbers ourselves. We bank with NatWest, but I’m sceptical that it’s a high-rate scam, seeing as it’s a local geographic number rather than an 0870 or 0845. Has anyone given it a ring and can share whether it was a good or bad experience? It would help clear up the uncertainty.

Received a text earlier today, 21st December 2010, that was quite similar to the ones previously mentioned. I reached out to Nationwide using the phone numbers listed on the site (all starting with 0845). They confirmed that, under no circumstances, would they ever get in touch with customers via SMS; all communication should be done through the post! It's best to just ignore these messages!
