ID Fraud
 

Just received a text message that read:ID fraud may be closer than you think.
When times are hard don't make it easier.

Visit www halifax co uk/IDFraud.

Anyone else had this or am I the "lucky" one?:confused:

Have not used the link.

Re: ID Fraud
 

No Text for me.

Checked the link and page not found, it does take tyou to halifax website though.

I would advise anyone who wants to go to the bank website, go there yourself not via any link sent to you.

Re: ID Fraud
 

Sound advice do not go there.

I got the same text and was a bit suspicious so didn't follow the link & deleted it straight away just in case

Re: ID Fraud
 

I just found it a bit ironic when it was one of their employees in a call center in Ireland that gave my details to a stranger in London and issued him/her with a debit card in my name.
Despite the person getting my address wrong.

Put me through 2 years of hell clearing my name.

I don't use my mobile Beni, but I still get plenty of emails from every bank in the country asking me, for security purposes, to upgrade on line, I even got one purporting to be from the CEO of Lloyds TSB, they all get deleted
