Next time I openned my e'mail account I had 3000 messages took ages to delete them this went on for about 2 weeks!!!

So be careful

very true, never reply to them as you just confirm your email address.

Same as Ebay and Paypal emails and messages, 99.99% of those are fakes and phishing. All look very professional and when you reply to them you are asked to log in again and thats when they get your passwords.

Delete them please.

I have had one of these "Please confirm your online details" from every bank and building society going. As it is they all get deleted.
I suppose someone somewhere will fall for it.

funny though as I don't have an online account

Suggest you take care if you are an on-line bank user

I got exactly the same. I have no Halifax account either. Apart from a Mortgage that is. They don't know my email address. Because I didn't have one when I took out the Mortgage in 1995.

i'v never had any kind of phising email and i feel left out

if i get one im going to print it as well then put that in the bin too for good measure.

yes....there will always be someone who falls for it though.

shirley got the nigerian 'we need you to deposit £5.5million. in return..................'
reported to aol and trading standards then in the bin.
