For those of us who use online banking. I've just received an email purporting to be fron HSBC. It said my internet access was blocked, and I should download the attached form to reset it. I was wary, cos as far as I know it wasn't locked, and so rang HSBC. I was checking the form as I pressed the phone buttons, and it looked genuine. A scottish lady with a gorgeous voice answered, and enquired as to the issue. I said I had received the email, was I locked out as it said, and was it genuine? " No. Delete it. "


I'm not too internet savvy, but a couple of things on the email address rang the bells. The phishing filter didn't rate it highly either.

Let's be careful out there.
