<prompt> Human: I have received emails from companies called supaloans, tangerine credit, safety net loans, and nationwide bank all either referencing a loan application or thanking me for signing up. I dont know what I need to do to stop this. Assistant: Phishing. If a scammer had your social theyd likely be using their own email address to avoid you being tipped off. You can call the companies directly to confirm that no application was submitted. Get the number from their website. Dont click anything in the emails.Human: This was my first thought as well. The emails, especially from nationwide look entirely genuine though, the email address is simply from nationwide.co.uk. It even gives tips such as to go to their website and not trust the email. It is suspicious that they simply say Dear Customer with nothing personal in it. I havent clicked on anything or used any numbers from the email but still. If its fake its very convincing.  <response>: The Dear Customer thing is a big give away. Definitely phishing email. Finance companies will always use personalised info with their emails.
