I'm with Halifax, thanks for the warning, if I ever figure out this computer stuff it will be of some use, but good of you to warn others.

Anyone stupid enough to put in their full account details to any email deserves all they get!

One of the reasons i don't use internet banking, i just don't trust it. I'm with halifax, and the phone banking is brilliant!

its been around for ages... but they are very clever and use similar web addresses! but as said above, you deserve all you get if you give your details away... hsbc internet banking is awesome! you have a 9 number code you have to enter first, then after that, they ask you for random numbers from that code... that way, unless someone has been watching you for ages, and has been checking your screen, they cant get you through key pad strokes!
