Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at Halifax Bank by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- Halifax Bank never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "https://www.halifax-online.co.uk/_mem_bin/ formslogin.asp".
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual Halifax Bank URL.
