Hsbc Scam Emails

[janbee]

Does anyone have an email address to which I can report scam emails from this company. I got 4 this morning all asking me details so they can make a CHAPS payment into my account. I have NEVER had an HSBC a/c and don't do online banking with my own bank. Thank you for any advice you can give.

I was given an email address for HSBC (with whom I bank) but it just came back undeliverable, so I would just ignore and delete.

[janbee]

Ok, ta, blackie xx

[Brinjal]

Just had the same email I always delete these things

[janbee]

Thanks Brinjal. Good to know I'm not alone in getting these things. xx

[waterboatman]

Yup. Just ignore and delete jan.

[janbee]

Yes, I've zapped them. Bl***y annoying though.

[venator]

It's a phishing scam.

[janbee]

Yes I know. I've informed HSBC at [email protected]. Doubt if it will do any good though. Fingers crossed. xx

I've forwarded lots of these, with copies of the headers, to the reporting addresses given for paypal, hmrc, banks etc but I'm not convinced there's much they can do about it as the same emails keep coming. The phishers seem to be able to spoof email addresses and mask their own and they probably have lots of others they can generate easily if one gets closed down; and I suspect the scammers are always a step ahead of the banks

Thanks to all for your replies. It's just comforting to know that I'm not the only one on the receiving end of this type of krap !

HSBC are not actually sending these emails, rather a scammer pretending to be them, but you can forward them (as an attachment if poss.) on to [email protected]. They will then take any appropriate action to try & catch them. Media URL: http://www.hsbc.co.uk/1/2/contact-and-support/security-centre/report-a-problem

I once got one pretending to be from RBS.

The trouble was they then wrote the bank's name as Ryoal Bank of Scotland.

I have the emails addresses to report phishing emails allegedly from HMRC, natwest, hsbc, Lloyds, and Barclays. If anybody ever needs them, let me know.

I had one from paypal . It said dear customer ect . Any genuine e mails from paypal state my name . That said they wanted to check my details ect . I just delete them without opening .

[janbee]

Bl***y nuisance aren't they? Like you, I just delete delete delete. They still keep on coming though.
