Comments:
  • Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at Halifax by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.


  • Halifax 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?source=halifaxcouk&page= login&simigvis= MS40NDQuNjg5MTU4ODg0MTkz NS4xMjM3MDM3MTczMjg0*".


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual Halifax URL.
