Just got a SMS from the same number that the normal Natwest alerts come from saying that my online banking is disabled and to go to https://nw12.online. Not had this before, but a WHOIS lookup shows it's clearly a scam. I think a lot of people will fall for this one, having put fake details in, it looks reasonable.

The fact it's from my bank and the same alerts number is quite clever.

Have you let Natwest know so they can warn their customers ?

I worked for NatWest until Saturday and they are very much aware of it. It's been doing the round for a good year or two but there was a massive wave of texts sent towards the end of last week.

Got the same SMS today with the same link. While I do have a NatWest account, I don't use it and haven't for years.
