HSBC Online Banking Warning!!!!

jims-terrano · 03-10-2010, 09:30

Just incase any of you do online banking with HSBC. Don't do as my mrs did and it's easier to google HSBC and go on that way

The first result on Google for HSBC at the moment is a fraudulant spoof web site. Fortunately this time Virgin spotted it and blocked it but god know's if this web site has been used. Change password double quick!!!

Looks like a very accurate spoof, I bet it's caught quite a few people out.

It also tries to download/install something on your computer, Might be worth doing a few scans depending on how far she got into the website.

Nah we're safe it wouldn't let us get that far this time!!! Created a shortcut on the desktop now to the correct web site. Also blocked the web site on our router now too so no chance at all. Clever how they got to top of goggle Search though
