I've been getting lots of phishing scams in my hotmail account recently. I bank with HSBC - so why I've been getting Lloyds, NatWest, RBS "confirm your details" type emails I know to ignore them.
This afternoon I got one from hsbc's 'service' account with the following message:
Dear HSBC Customer, 2008 Security
HSBC Bank Plc is hereby announcing the New Security Upgrade. We've upgraded our new SSL servers to serve our customers for a better and secure banking service,against any fraudulent activities.
Due to this recent upgrade, you are requested to update your account information by clicking the link below.

Click the link - and it often looks like a legit site. But it's not...HSBC specifically say on their website they will never contact you about your account via email. If you click the link above it says 'This is a reported phishing website'.
Anyone else noticing more 'phishing' email activity recently?
