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 "https://www.hsbc.co.uk".

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

Dear HSBC Online customer,
Unable to send your rewards cheque because we have detected a posiblibe error your account address information.,
This might be due to either of the following reasons:
1. A recent change in your personal information (i.e. change of address).
2. Submitting invalid information during the initial sign up process.
Consequently, we placed a temporary restriction on your account. We did this to protect your account from any fraudulent activity.
Please verify your information :

Thank you,
HSBC Bank PLC Internet Banking Customer Service
