Coronavirus scams
Some criminals are using coronavirus to trick people into sharing personal or financial information. Watch out for:
- Cold calls from criminals pretending to be from Nationwide – we’ll never ask for your card reader codes or ask you to move money to a safe account.
- Strangers claiming they will help buy your shopping if you give them your card and PIN – never give your card and PIN to a complete stranger.
- Emails that ask you to click on a link to log in, update information, or to access important news – we’ll never ask you to do that from a link in an email or text.
