Spoof email from HSBC

I know everyone on here is too smart and 'savvy' to get caught out with email scams but, I received this below today:

"During our regular update and verification of the Hsbc Online Banking Service, we could not verify your current information. Either your information has been changed or incomplete, as a result your access to use our services has been limited. Please update your information.

To restore your online banking access, kindly update your information. You can update your online banking details by following the link below

HSBC Bank plc"





As always - please be careful!

You would think people would check whether their access to HSBCs services has actually been limited first wouldn't you

But thinking about it no, lots of people probably wouldn't!

The cloned HSBC login site is brilliant too - very accurate. Even contains the paragraph about being aware of scam sites that ask for your full security code (which this site then asks for)

Confistication is my new favourite word I wouldn't know her if I tripped over her either but I wouldn't kick her out of bed for f@rting
