WARNING!!!! PLEASE READ?

Question

I have been sent a phishing email from Korea.

Please ignore it and if possible report this page using:

Tools, phishing filter, report this website.

The page is here :http://www.hid.or.kr/gnuboard4/halifax-online.co.uk/mem-bin/formslogin-aspsource=halifaxcouk/login.php

PLEASE DO NOT ENTER ANY DETAILS - JUST REPORT IT.

Did anyone else receive this which was impersonating the Halifax today?

Answer 1

All the banks pool this sort of information. Anything like that I just forward it to my banks fraud department and they pass it on.

Answer 4

Answer 5

First rule. NEVER fill in any details on a site with http:// at the start of the url, only if it starts https:// for secure (encrypted) and does NOT give certificate warnings.

Second rule. Look seriously at the URL. A genuine bank address will be the correct domain name - like halifax.com or halifax.co.uk.

Third rule. Do not panic, these people have no idea about your details, they are getting your information when you type them in the form. Unless you enter ALL the details they have nothing. Email addresses are randomly chosen, sooner or later they will send one to somebody with a halifax or whatever account.

Fourth rule. Send a copy of the email to the bank abuse department, include a copy of the FULL headers. Until they are reported these people have to stick around to collect their money. Report them as soon as they start and they DO get caught. I received one using an address local to me, sent it to the bank and the next time I passed the building it was crawling with police. This obviously will have saved some unsuspecting recipients a lot of grief, and the records recovered allow the banks to change account details for people and secure them properly again.

Answer 6

BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!

Why is this person directing you to a website?  This is probably a phishing attempt!

Answer 7

I have gone to the trouble of finding the bank's website and forwarding these phishing emails to them.  Only one bank bothered to reply and thank me, and provided me with an easy to use link for any future problems.

If all the banks got their fingers out and tackled this problem, it would disappear.  If people can be prosecuted for downloading music, I'm sure they could find these phishers as well.

If you get fake eBay emails, forward them to [e-mail]

Answer 8

No bank in the whole world will ever ask you to confirm your details by e-mail.

It's just SPAM sent out by criminals.

DELETE it.

Answer 9

Ignore it and delete that email! Thanks for the warning though...
