This scam has the purpose of phishing confidential account information from Halifax bank customers. Although everything seems to be genuine, it's certanly not. Even the email address of the sender looks legit but it's not that difficult to change the "from"address when sending emails. If you do get such emails you could check out the real bank website. There you will find a link to a page with a warning for these kind of phishing scams. On the Halifax website on the right there's a link which says "phishing scams". Click on it and you'll find a scam warning. Best is to google the name of the bank and click the link found on google, DO NOT click links in the scam emails.
