Yes, Ignore. If you want to check go to the website directly and sign in, do not use links in emails.

gumbald · 7 Feb 2008 at 12:46

Love the link address.

Were you seriously asking if this was serious?

I'd remove the link before someone's actually stupid enough to fall for it. I've given them some comedy answers anyway.

Without a shadow of doubt, junk.

Gaz1988 · 7 Feb 2008 at 12:47

why *** halifax lead you to a site which isnt theres? lol

PixelChef · 7 Feb 2008 at 12:47

and why would it be from nationwide?

Wrathamon · 7 Feb 2008 at 12:47

So, so many blatent obvious mistakes, it's clear it's a phishing email

Halifax.... yet nationwide email address?
Dear Valued Customer ... not your name!
the URL points to a crap domain....

As always, for anything bank related etc, always log into the site by typing the URL in by hand in your browser - never, ever click links in emails!

randal · 7 Feb 2008 at 12:48

Probably should delete that phishing link, but yep scam-age all the same.

yipyipboo · 7 Feb 2008 at 12:49

i get a couple of these everyday, bloody spam.

PixelChef · 7 Feb 2008 at 12:50

You think that link is a virus or what?

Memphis · 7 Feb 2008 at 12:50

No, it'll be a legitimate looking page that just so happens to send your details to a Nigerian.

Deluxe1 · 7 Feb 2008 at 12:51

Beggers belief that someone has to actually ask if that is a scam.

They're stealthy if so.

Gaverick · 7 Feb 2008 at 12:54

Looks like they have hijacked this site to host the page on too

Someone need to disconnect your internet.

geeza · 7 Feb 2008 at 13:00

I wouldnt sign in using the link. The only thing that made it different to all the other was that it came from what looks like a proper email address (or it is spoofed)

Gaverick · 7 Feb 2008 at 13:00

I'd also advise getting firefox, it flashes a scam warning as soon as you go on that site.

Adam · 7 Feb 2008 at 13:03

Can't blame scammers for trying when there are so many stupid people. I mean seriously, the only thing to make it more obvious would be "THIS IS A SCAM" in bold at the top. Even then some people still wouldn't be sure....
