Police issue Halifax fake scam letter warning

Police have warned people to beware of a fake letter, purporting to be from the Halifax Bank, linked to a banking scam. A North Wales Police South Flintshire statement said: "We have been made aware of a letter circulating that appears to the reader as a genuine fraud prevention letter from Halifax. "The message reads in bold, WE'VE HAD TO BLOCK YOUR ACCOUNT - PLEASE CALL US URGENTLY. By checking the website 'Who Called Me' it appears that the contact number detailed in this letter is linked to a banking scam from around four years ago. "When contacting your bank, please always remember to check the phone number on the back of your bank card in order to make sure you are calling the genuine number! "If you receive a convincing fraudsters letter and call the contact number detailed within, you will be dialling straight into them and this will increase your risk of being scammed.
