Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email, apparently
from my bank. The reality is that it was sent by criminals that want
me to give them my personal information, so that they can empty my account,
or use the information for identity theft.
Go to the phishing page to see more stories
about phishing.

If you received a similar email, you should go to the homepage

Like other UK banks, we are currently
seeing very large numbers of "phishing
emails" in circulation. Many of these
look as if they are from HSBC, typically
encouraging you into Fraudant Activities.
Such attempted frauds only work if you
dont upgrade your HSBC details. Also,
a copy of this message has been sent to
your HSBC online banking messages too.
