E mail scammers

Hi all,
Just recieved an email from "HSBC" bank, saying that they have detected irregular activity on my "HSBC internet banking account"
and asking me to download the document attached to the mail. If I fail to do this they will suspend my account. :thumbup:

Well they will have a job as I do not bank with them, what a bunch of scamming bas---ds. :D

A fortune awaits the person who can make a computer program that can return all their crap with a 10,000 volt attachment. 8O 8O 8O


Cheers

A.M.

i had a spate of them a while ago, from hsbc, tsb and bank of uganda lol
theres a paypal one doing the rounds as well asking you to log into a bogus site that looks identical to the paypal site - watch out for that one.

There are loads of these out there, most so badly done anyway. Same principal applies as in real life - if someone you don't know knocks on your door and asks to come in, don't let them.

If there is a web link, hover over it and you will see what it is, also unrelated.
