Halifax email scam

M.E.

WARNING
Keep receiving this email... which as I don't have a Halifax account is obviously a scam as it requires you to use a link to give your bank details.
If you are a Halifax account holder DO NOT CLICK on the link.

I have been getting those too and after contacting Halifax they asked me to forward them to [EMAIL="security@hbosplc.com"]security@hbosplc.com[/EMAIL]

yes they have been going around for years.

this type of fraud has been decriminalised and my spam filter calls it "phishing"

Phishing mails, virtually all banks have a warning about them when you log in. I get dozens a day across my various email accounts.

And never click on a link from an email that calls you a "member" or "customer" instead of your real name. I have loads of these from various banks I never bank with. In fact, I don't do Internet banking

Got the same thing from Natwest even though I don't have an account with them.

I get about four a day, from "Halifax, Nat West, Nationwide, Abbey". I just bin them.

Yeah, but do they (the banks) actually do anything with the phishing emails you forward to them or just bin them and do nowt?
