HSBC emails (scam)

[katealpha]

I've had a few emails like this one supposedly from HSBC in the last few days. Obviously a scam (as I've never banked with HSBC) -



From: HSBC Bank <persys32d@hsbcdirect.com>
To: xxxxxxxxx
Subject: Account suspended

This is a classic phishing attempt. You should report it to the HSBC, they would probably appreciate it.
