- Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at HSBC Holdings Plc GBŠ.customer-alert@hsbc.co.uk by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- HSBC Holdings Plc GBŠ.customer-alert@hsbc.co.uk never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.

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.
