Answer 3

Ring Natwest, rather than asking on here - you can't trust the answers and you can be reported for asking for personal info!

If you got an unsolicited email, letter or phone call from Natwest, then assume it's a scam unless you can contact the bank yourself on a number you find yourself to verify it.
