Nationwide Building Society has issued an alert regarding a fraudulent letter sent to its members. The letter, titled 'Exclusive Fixed Savings Offer in Collaboration with EITC', falsely advertised fixed-term savings accounts and ISAs with high interest rates, claiming to be a direct collaboration between Nationwide Building Society and EITC. A concerned customer contacted Nationwide Building Society, which confirmed the letter was not genuine and forwarded it to their Economic Crime team. The fraudulent letter used tactics like a looming deadline and a 'first-come, first-served' basis to rush recipients, and falsely claimed protection by the United Kingdom — Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Nationwide Building Society advised customers to report suspicious messages and verify offers through official channels, as they would never ask for personal details via email for applications.
