The Halifax seems to be a new sudden victim of a few Phishing emails.This one has gone to some effort to look the part, but gives the game away as the email has been sent to 10 different "keith" email addresses - only 1 of which is mine! Of course, as I frequently say, no respectable financial institution would greet you in an email with 'Dear Valued Customer' - it would be by your full name.
It takes the form of various Abbey Phishing Emails of a few months ago in that it doesn't tell you anything, it just claims there's a message that needs your attention.
The destination URL is http://halifax-onlines.com/halifax-online.co.uk/_mem_bin/formslogin.asp_source=halifaxcoukHOME/account.php. halifax-onlines.com is obviously a very clever domain name - it looks very realistic, but it does already appear in several Phishing results on Google.
Here's the email content:
