Anyone got an email message from Halifax? Virus Alert?

[Rhubarb]

I'm a bit suspicious because I don't have a Halifax account and over the past couple of days I've had 2 emails from Halifax Bank Plc, one that was headed urgent and another today headed 'online account suspension'. I haven't opened either and just wondered if anyone else has had these or if there were any virus alerts out?

I am with the halifax, and not recieved any emails, contact halifax and ask them.

Yes - never answer an e mail that says it is from your or any other bank! It's a scam, trying to get thier hands on your bank acct details rather than virus, I think. But delete anyway.

that sounds like utter cobblers

I bank online and I've never had anything like that

I'd definitely ring them

ooh I have had something like that, from someone claiming to be 'Barclays'

never had an account with Barclays

i did once get an email from my halifax account saying to 'ignore any emails which purport to be from the halifax' as they were aware of a scam which was going on.
i'd forward it to the halifax website, if you can be bothered, looks like another scam to me.

Yes I've had it to. It is a scam - just trying to get hold of your account details.
I forwarded mine on to Halifax, so they are aware of it. then deleted the email

straight into your trash! I get them from Halifax, and Barclays, as well as ones from ebay. All are fakes. Ignore and delete!

Thanks, I've reported it to an internet fraud company and to Halifax.

hoax I get them all the time

If anyone else gets such a scam email from a bank send it to the Metropolitan Police via [email protected]. and for scam ebay emails send them here [email protected] or here [email protected].

Definitely get rid. I get them about 4 times a week from Halifax, Bank of Scotland, Nationwide - I don't bank with either of them. I get hoax ones from Paypal and ebay too. Some of them look very convincing
