halifax with a small H and authorization with an american z. I think so.

100% yes.. the spelling mistakes should be enough but if you hover the mouse pointer over the supposed link it will point somewhere completely different, amazed anyone gets sucked in by these things banks will NEVER email asking for private details.

No

written in true chit chat style.. suspensiony :^0 is it blackadder's foe?

I got one recently about updating my outlook security settings for my bt internet email address.
It asked nothing except to visit a link and I reckon many people would have been suckered in by it. The link itself was (to me) obviously dodgy and so I avoided installing the latest virus etc I also checked the ip address and it was in Peru, and I don't think bt have outsourced there yet :p

do you still have the L INCA ?
