Review of the NatWest, Student Account:

I really love my bank in Ashton, Denton and Stockport which I use mostly; as they are always willing to help you.

I was being targeted by this evil racist junkie in our block of flats who happens to lodge with his sister; who told him I was to inherit some money- unbeknown to me. He has tried everything scam to try and get hold of my account number. This has included, getting one of his friend to stand behind me at the cash point inside the bank to get my cash when I reached for my receipt. The staff have been wonderful as I was so anxious that he could get a credit card in my name and run up a huge bill to pay for his £700 per week habit. The different staff have continued to reassure me every time I hear about his next scam; which is to tell the postman that I'm his girl friend so he will hand over my mail. This is of course untrue, but that doesn't concern him. I have to identify myself when I go into the bank to use my account ; but this is nothing compared to what he has done in the past to pay for his drugs. He has even phoned up Natwest bank to ask for my details, he is that desperate for cash. Reviewed on: 9th January 2015
