Important Reminder:Secure Your Savings With HSBC

The HSBC write to tell me they are used to thinking about security.  Because of this they have decided to introduce secure transactions.  Wouldn’t you think a major bank like the HSBC would already be using secure transactions?  They are, of course.  This is just a scam.  If I point my mouse at the link they ask me to click on, this is where it takes me: http://wood-house.gr/images/stories/hsbc/hsbc/index.html.  Not the address of the HSBC.

NEVER click on a link in ANY email from a bank – even if it does claim to come from your bank.  Always type the address of your bank into your browser.
