HSBC Phishing Report To Me Jan 3 Thank you for reporting a suspicious email to HSBC. Although HSBC may send you emails from time to time, we never ask for your security information or your login details. We also never link from an email to a web page that asks for this information. If you receive an unsolicited email from HSBC, the chances are that it is a Phishing email... The key distinguishing features of such emails are: A request to the reader to log on to their banking service, via an embedded link A request for security information (typically not just random characters but the whole password, and card details as well...) Please be wary of all unsolicited emails. Millions of these messages are sent out every day, in the hope that someone somewhere will be fooled. The fact that you have forwarded this message to us suggests that they have not succeeded in fooling you! To keep our customers protected, HSBC takes an active part in shutting down the corresponding fraudulent website wherever it is in the world, and we then pass on appropriate information to local law enforcement officers. Being a truly global bank, HSBC is well placed to bring pressure on the appropriate authorities around the world in its efforts to keep you safe. There are various ways to protect yourself from such unwanted messages and specific advice is available on getsafeonline.org This is an automated, and hopefully, a helpful response. We will not be coming back to you further on this matter but thank you for taking the trouble to bring it to our attention. If your email was not in relation to suspicious emails please note that it will not be forwarded as, for our own protection, this address is not connected to our main banking systems.
