Halifax bank yet again the target of phishing by scammers, and again the same domain as last week being used: http://www.thungwaworawit.com/modules/Modules/pnlang/halif/index.html

Forward any suspicious emails to: security@hbosplc.com

The Halifax bank are getting more than their fair shair of phishing emails this week. This is the third one this week and the second time of receving this version, the only difference being the compromised domain: http://www.thungwaworawit.com/modules/Censor/fax/formslogin.htm

No change though, it is still an email scam & as always, if you receive it, forward a copy to Halifax: security@hbosplc.com & delete the one in your inbox.

The content of the email follows, for your information.

BTW, I received this email over 10 hours ago and it is still online… come on Halifax, you need to be quicker about these matters!

Today, and for the 2nd time this week, there is another phishing email purporting to be from the Halifax bank. The link, as usual, does NOT take you to the Halifax website but instead to the scammers site (http://www.goobertestsite.net/includes/fax/formslogin.htm).

DO NOT FOLLOW THIS LINK AND DO NOT FILL IN YOUR PERSONAL DETAILS.

For your information the body of the email is as follows:
