Spam Halifax e-mail

Just got an e-mail from "Halifax"

'Please follow this link and enter all your bank data!!'

Its so obvious I wonder why people fall for it? The WHOLE e-mail is a link (not just the web address line!

Its all the more odd as I haven't an account with the Halifax - so, its just a random posting then!?

Right, so I've got your e-mail address...

Ummm... How's this for a draft:

SEND ME ALL YOUR MONEY

Would that work do you think?

If it's taken them this long to spam you with this one Pete, they must really not like you!

theres a MUCH more obvious one going around tho - apparently BT customer service monkeys are persuading people to upgrade to a much more costly package by claiming it'll save money. man, i hope nobody's daft enough to fall for that.
