Heads up - I just received this - it is a fake and if you click on the link it wants all the information which will let them rob your account.

The reason it is convincing - to an extent - is that is a direct copy of the message one received when logging into Nationwide banking recently as they have introduced the five more questions option.

Have you told Nationwide about it ? They have pretty good on warning about phishing emails in the past but there is nothing on their site at the moment ?
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.
