  • Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at HSBC Bank by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.


  • HSBC Bank never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "http://hsbc.co.uk/users/renewobligation?start= ok".


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual HSBC Bank URL.
