419 Chutzpah!

X-No-Archive: yes

This 419 phish arrived in my net. You really couldn't invent it, could you:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Halifax Bank PLC. always maintains the highest security for our clients. Some customers have been receiving an email claiming to be from Halifax, stating that their account has been accessed by an unauthorized third party. It then advises them to follow a link to what appears to be a Halifax web site, where they are prompted to enter their personal Online Banking details. Halifax is not involved with this email and the web site does not belong to us. If you receive one of these emails please contact Halifax direct at 0845 850 0629.

Halifax is proud to announce their new updated security system. We have updated our new SSL servers to prevent fraud and give our customers a securer online banking service, where there is no risk of fraud and your account details are kept encrypted at all times.

Due to the recent update of the servers, you are requested update and verify your account info at the following link.

And there followed a link to fake website!

Waste of bytes since it will be archived in my reply ..

Cunning, but not actually a 419 scam - that's the one where you get contacted by relatives of dead/rich Nigerian/Iranian/African/whatever person, whose money you are to help liberate.

This one is simple phishing ..

This seems pretty similar to the phone calls I get from Egg!
