They're at it again!

Look out for getting "official looking" e mail correspondence from your bank.
Seems to look very legit , until they ask you to re - enter your personal details for your account , otherwise "your system may be blocked".
I got a nice one from HSBC this morning. Problem is , I don't bank with HSBC. Doh!

look at the web address



http = fake one

https = real one


extra 's' means it's a secure site


remember your bank, and any other organisation, will never ask you for your user name/password/account/credcard details via email

and if they do tell em to sod off

same thing when they ask for said details over the phone

tell em to send you a letter which you can reply to
