Sorry mate for this

I have sent you an Email which I received earlier, which I think you may need to have a look at, regarding possible fraudulent activity

Just got a message from Phil and they're looking into it.

What's happened is that I got an Email supposedly from Halifax requesting confirmation of my bank details, so alarm bells immediately started ringing as banks don't request this information!
I haven't used my Halifax account for over 15 years, and it's still in my old name ( I changed my Surname by deed poll 8 years ago for personal reasons)

I clicked on the link and my doubts were confirmed, I won't post up details just yet, but suffice to say it was very disturbing, and is being looked into

and the link with Phil is.......

It's not directly linked to Phil, but I thought it would be best to let him know so things can be looked into.

Sorry, I'm not going into anymore detail unless Phil gives the OK

Paul,

I regularly get Emails 'supposedly' from banks. I have had Abbey, Natwest, Halifax, Nationwide and more ....

My Emails keep asking me to update my details etc.

Unless yours are more personally linked to you

Looie

We get dozens of these every week at work, from banks, building societies, mutual funds, loan companies.....the list goes on and on...... just delete them.......... most of them are so poorly done, you can spot them as fakes a mile off.......

I agree with you, there is a lot of these style Emails going out everyday, and normally I wouldn't bother posting up, but there's more to this one than I will let on for the time being

Looie

Fair enough....... makes this particular one sound worthy of the wait...

I got that one mate but I just spammed it. The link looked genuine but I closed my account years ago and was never online.

Just got a PM from Phil, and the issue has been resolved.

As I've already mentioned about the fake Halifax Email, I clicked on the "update details" link, and it was directed to the SIDC website -


Hence my concerns.

The matter has been resolved, and the relevent ISP's have been contacted.

Phil had said he was made aware of this last night, and the link is dead

Phil

Thanks Paul
