It is not Halifax doing the phishing, so the thread title is wrong, unless you really are suggesting that Halifax are sending out these emails.

Really though, how are people still caught out by these sort of emails, after all the coverage there have been about them over the years.

A lot of people wouldn't know that it was misspelled.

Of course (or of course not - whichever).
