The second fake site is something else. The main site looks innocent:
But... the victim will never see that one, because the victim receive a link to the fake bank... and the game is played on a subdomain:
And there we have:
Halifax Bank Plc. is a duly incorporated commercial bank offering multiple financial services to its clients in U.S.A and globally. We are one of the leading commercial banks in U.S.A.
Wrong - the real Halifax Bank is a British bank.
