Accounts Security Alert

Mon Jul 31 11:24:17 UTC 2006

We, hardware at freebsd.org, &
Halifax seems to be target of an attempt at financial fraud, appended below.
(or at least, someone's fed them a false name, but seems fraud)
Halifax bank ex building society in UK is really http://www.halifax.co.uk
So I've sent to abuse at halifax.co.uk

Domain owner of apparent fraud appears to be (from whois)
        Inca Research Inc
        Victoria Chambers
        Fir Vale Road
        Bournemouth
        BH1 2JN
Name Servers are         ns0.bt.net ns1.bt.net 
whois bt.net fails to give info 
	(whereas whois other .net give info, .net root service OK)
Maybe bt.net is also a fraud dummy, 
	so I've also Cc'd bt at abuse.com (British Telecom) & not bt at abuse.net
