It has come to our attention that a number of fraudulent (phishing) emails are being circulated purporting to be from Halifax.
Details:

1. The email may be sent from "Halifax@confirmation.ie" or “Halifax Bank Plc”
2. The email may claim that there has been a security breach and ask customers to log into their Halifax online banking to confirm their banking details.

THESE EMAILS ARE NOT FROM HALIFAX!
They are a fraudulent attempt to acquire your Halifax online banking details.

There may be other phishing emails in circulation so please remember:

* Halifax will NEVER send you an email asking you to verify any of your banking details.
* Halifax will NEVER send you an email asking you to log in to our online banking service.
* An email from Halifax will NEVER contain a link to our online banking login page.

If you have received one of these emails you should follow these steps:

* DO forward the email to cfu@halifax.ie.
* DO delete the email once you have sent it to us.
* DO contact us immediately if you are concerned that you may have provided information to a fraudulent site or if you are concerned that your account has been compromised in any way.

* DO NOT click any buttons or links in the email.
* DO NOT open or download any attachments.
* DO NOT enter any details.
