Oh Noes! My HSBC Account Was Compromised Again! But… I’m with Barclays :\
Yes, I am sad enough to read my own spam sometimes, because it gives me something to write about, and someone to insult online :D
I got the following email today, telling me that they are trying to protect my HSBC account from scammers (hm, yeah), and that I should follow a link, and fill out a form. Great, huh?
Dear HSBC Bank customer,
We have implemented security procedures which use reasonable measures to ensure the security, confidentiality and integrity of Business Customers Data in our possession and guard against unauthorized access or use.
HSBC Business Internet Banking Form (BIB Form) is one of these security measures. You should complete BIB Form on a regular basis.
Please complete BIB Form using the link below:
Hm yeah, but I’m with another bank, guys, and I sure as hell dont use online banking, that’s what Paypal and suchlike are for. So yeah, that was a failure.
But, because I felt like it, I followed the link, ignored the warnings, and sent the scammers at mandas.hk a nice (insulting) message. I hope they like it :D There is a faint pic bottom right, if you can’t see it x)
Firefox kept spitting warnings at me, saying that it was a known scam site, and IE? Nothing. xD
Goes to say, doesn’t it?
