BEWARE OF HALIFAX SCAM!: They send messages saying you've arranged a payment, but it’s nothing like the real Halifax messages. Legit ones usually show up with “Halifax” at the top, not just a number. Here’s how you can tell the difference: FAKE: “HALIFAX: Your payment of £54.99 to a NEW PAYEE, "MR J A##MS" has been scheduled. If this wasn’t you, check here: [#]secure-verifypa###[###]“ GENUINE: “Confirmation: You added a new recipient on DD/MM at HH:MM:SS from account ending ####. If this wasn’t you, please call TEL or TEL if abroad.”
