Hello everyone, I'm a newbie to the forum, but have used the website on a number of occassions.
Please forgive me if I have started a new thread but should have used an old one, or have not used the correct netiquette.

I was just thinking .... recently I looked up an alternative to the 0870 850 5463 number for activating a Halifax credit card.  I found an unverified freephone alternative on here 0800 0856 280.  I was just wondering how easy would it be for someone to set up a spoof number with the intention of getting somebody's credit card details?  The number could be set up to sound like it was from Halifax say, and you would be giving a lot of confidential information.  What do you think?

Thanks NGMsGhost

I hope you didn't have to spend any money on petrol or parking though to make this visit and it was just on foot say during your lunch hour from the office?
