Halifax Online Banking Users

[wilma-bride]

Just to let you all know that DH and I both received Emails today saying our account had been violated and asking us to confirm our online banking details to prevent interrupted access to our online accounts.

I am sure you all probably know this but, if you get an Email like this, do NOT reply to it or confirm any details. I called Halifax, who confirmed it hadn't been sent by them and they asked for all suspicious emails to be forwarded to security@hbosplc.com and then deleted from your Email inbox immediately.

Just wanted to make people aware

Thanks for the warning Joh...I get them all the time but haven't had one yet today. I normally just delete them but will forward to that email address aswell now.

I've had a few e-mails like that including "from" banks i'm not with. I always send them on to the banks fishing e-mail which you can find on their website.

[Minniespal]

I got this email too and promptly logged into my account. Everything was fine but I'm guessing some people will panic and click on the email. Thanks for the heads up Joh

I don't bank with Halifax+have'nt received anything.But i do sometimes get emails from Paypal saying that i have to click on this link+update my details,pasword etc...I wonder just how many 'newbies' may not realise and do it.x.

Thanks joh x

All it takes is for one person to click and it makes it worth their while.

I get loads of these emails and they are usually from banks that I don't hold accounts with. ONe thing I do when I am not sure about emails from ebay, paypal, banks etc if check the email address the fishing emails always have suspicious addresses and not the address you expect for a large company.
