Your link has expired. If you’re not a customer then it must be ‘dodgy’. I assume it will be the same or similar to an e-mail as I received today or yesterday via my motor clubs e-mail address no doubt lifted from our website by a bot. Defiantly iffy along with the Barclays Bank, Lloyds Bank, Ebay, Paypal, several American Banks e-mails currently doing the rounds.

From the (official) Halifax (BOS) web-site...
...so you may wish to forward the e-mail to the above address to help them establish a pattern and hence track the scammers down!

I have received an e-mail from you asking for my online sign-in details? Should I reply?
