Followed up after a phishing email sent to my wife initially claiming to be the DVLA - after clicking the link and putting in my details I realised it was a scam and cancelled my card with the bank. A week later they called my mobile pretending to be Halifax fraud team claiming my accounts were compromised and attempted to have me transfer funds to a new account at which point I hung up - very professional scam but put down the phone immediately and contact the bank

Culminating with him pretending to create a new bank account for her where she needed to transfer our full balance and ove

Thought the caller sounded odd which made me suspicious.... Pretended to be Halifax asking personal details, Saying there has been a fraudulent transaction on my account for a car purchase in Dublin. Nothing pending on my banking app so again didn't add up. Googled the number and found this page. Caller tried to persuade me not to call Halifax back as I would be waiting 1 hour 20 mins to speak to someone, So it would be easier to deal with him. I have since called Halifax who confirmed this i
