WARNINGS

1. Note the URL of the forged web page given above - its a sub domain of userset.net and has been created to give the appearance of a genuine halifax-online.co.uk domain.
2. The userset.net domain has been used in a number of recent bank email and phishing scams such as the recent Halifax Internet Banking Scam. Learn more in our Forum.
3. The forged web content is the same as the other recent Nationwide Bank scam.

 

" Dear client of the Nationwide, as the Technical services of bank have been currently updating the software. "...

 

If you have received this email, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first, although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.
