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/1/2/personal/pib-home".

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