Mbna bank in uk?
 
Does the MBNA bank have a uk site - mbna.co.uk? I keep getting spam, or what I thought was spam (phishing spam), but the links link direct to mbna. And they have my correct name. So i am wondering if i signed up for one of their credit cards or something.

never heard of them

I am pretty sure someones nicked my idenity (sp?)
Or its a fake bank. but they have a wikipedia entry (although it doesn't mention the .co.uk version)

The emails all seem legit, and have at the bottom something saying "for confirmation purposes, this is your post code" and puts a post code - but it isn't mine.
Argh. ffs. going to call them up later.

mbna do credit cards here - I have one.

Doesnt mean the emails are legit tho.

But the email links to mbna.co.uk, deff no phishing assuming that mbna.co.uk is legit, which it looks like it is.

i've been having these emails for months and months. i probably wasn't even 18 when "i" first signed up for mbna (ie when someone else did. if they did)

Why would someone sign up with your own email address if they were pretending to be you?

I would just ignore the mails.

Dude, just delete them. You will notice they go in batches where one month you get flooded with MBNA phishing mails, the next its Barclays and so on. Its just to try and sweep up all those who might have accounts and could potentially get suckered. Do a mouseover on the URL in the email and see that it isnt them.

For the record, if you have a credit card from MBNA in the UK you are dealing with MBNA Bank.

I have been marking them as spam, but tbh, i recon i actually do get one a month. I called MBNA (damn it, keep typing MDMA... haha) a min ago and sort of sorted it. They're a bit crap lol.

they have some affiliation with Bank of America. the MBNA World Points card is from bank of america. i only konw this because i found someones card on the groud a few weeks ago and on the bank had the BofA number
