-
Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at HSBC by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- HSBC never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website is hidden by a hyperlinked image in the body of the email. This is a technique used to get past spam filters that can only read normal text.
-
The spoof website this email links to was not online at time of this report, but variations of the scam which link to working websites are bound to exist, so be wary! The website may have been taken down or disabled by the hosts, but quite often these websites are hosted on the personal computer of the phishers, so may only be online at certain times.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual HSBC URL.

Dear HSBC customer,
We recently reviewed your account, and suspect that your HSBC Internet Banking accountmay have been accessed by an unauthorized third party.

To restore your account access, please take the following step to ensure that your account has not been compromised:
1. Login to your HSBC Internet Banking account.You will need to provide us additional information such as your social security number and mother's maiden name.
2. Review your recent account history for any unauthorized withdrawals or deposits, and check you account profile to make sure not changes have been made. If any unauthorized activity has taken place on your account, report this to HSBC staff immediately.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and appreciate your assistance in helping us maintain the integrity of the entire HSBC system. Thank you for attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
The HSBC Team
