Comments: |
- 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 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.

Dear Valued Customer,
Due to the drastic increase on online
fraud, HSBC has developed a
new security system. This is highly
recommended security system which
is linked with your registered phone number
with HSBC.
HSBC will automatically call you when You
attempt to log-in to your
online banking account or an attempt to make
paymets. Access to your
Online Banking has been suspended untill you
upgrade to the recommended security system
