I've just received the following e-mail:

The thing is, they didn't send it to the e-mail address the Halifax has to me, but another one simular to it, that I have. Also this e-mail was sent early tommorrow morning! The Halifax site is not accessable, and you can't ring them. If you follow the link, they ask you to verify all your personal details to access the account.

I think this is the same Fraud that Nat West account holders got hit with last week! Anyone else agree?

They are updating the site I think because of the fraud....

This is the e-mail I received today:

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Please note that we would never send emails that ask you for confidential or personal security information.
