Watch out!HalifaxB & Q7 yearsI got a text through Vodafone that looked suspicious. Luckily, I don’t bank with Halifax, but with all this identity theft going on, I was suspicious and decided to reach out to Vodafone. The first time I used their online chat, they just told me to ring Halifax! They didn’t quite get that I was asking if it was a scam. I had to explain several times that I don’t have a Halifax account. When I told them the number that sent the message and what it said, they didn’t have any alerts about it. Honestly, I’m so glad there’s places like this website to check these things out.VodafoneHalifax7 yearsThis is definitely a scam, just ignore it. It seems like they've blasted the same message to loads of random numbers, hoping some of them actually have an Halifax account. If you get a text like this and are unsure whether it’s genuine, always call your bank using a number you already know, not the one given in the message. These scammers are just awful, taking advantage of people who might not know any better.
