Consumer champions at Which? said the dodgy email links to a copycat website, which scammers will use to get hold of your personal details and access your bank account
Halifax customers have been urged to be aware of scammers following a new wave of fake emails that are doing the rounds.
Consumer champions at Which? said the dodgy email links to a copycat website. The scammers have used “convincing” Halifax branding to trick the recipient into believing the message is from the bank.
In the email, Which? says customers are urged to “refresh their contact details” by clicking on a link. This link then takes the customer to a fake Halifax website.
The fraudulent website looks almost identical to the real Halifax webpage and features the branding of the bank. Customers are then asked to enter their Halifax username and password – by doing this, scammers can then get access to your real account.
