I hate how easy it would be to scam someone and did think before I knew you could do that that surely there must be a way to report them... they have web hosting so they must be somehow trackable to some level - at least to closing down the hosting or something... so yes phishing@hsbc.com have had a few forwards from me today!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594215371725470732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367049965298207358.post-59785575828084565602010-03-17T14:22:46.220-07:002010-03-17T14:22:46.220-07:00Hi Mandy,
Matt here on one of my occasional reads...Hi Mandy, <br />Matt here on one of my occasional reads of your blog.<br />If you want to help fight online crime, send all those sorts of emails to phishing@hsbc.com.<br />There are a team of people who run around tackling those pesky sites and trying to take them offline before our customers get conned, and by sending the emails through we are able to respond quickly.<br /><br />There is also useful information about online security here -> http://www.hsbc.co.uk/1/2/online-security<br />In particular, look for part of the address bar in your (up to date) browser turning green if you are on the proper secure site, <br /><br />As a HSBC customer you are also eligible for 12 months free McAfee security software, and we also offer customers something called "Trusteer" which provides some protection against counterfeit sites - again its free.<br />See https://www.hsbc.co.uk/1/2/online-security/security-software for these.<br /><br />OK, so maybe some of the above is a shameless plug for HSBC, but Internet security is really important and the more people who read this post and learn something new, the less chance those fraudsters have of getting their dirty mitts on your cash.Matthttp://www.facebook.com/mpjonesnoreply@blogger.com
