Banking scams

[parkerman]

You would think if someone sends an email purporting to come from a bank they would at least learn proper English. This is the text of an email I received today:

"HSBC

Dear Esteem Customer,

Due to fraudulent activities on numerous accounts, we are cordially working to increase security on our database and to protect all internet banking users.

We always think of how to protect and secure your account. We impose you to help secure your internet banking account, click here to continue.

Your security is utmost important to us...."

Incidentally, I don't even have any accounts with HSBC.

I keep getting them too and don't bank with HSBC.

The Nigerian 619 scammers are at it again.

If they tried my Bank Account they would probably feel sorry for me and put money in it.

Oh damn, you've blown my cover yet again. After looking at my bank balance this morning and thinking it was exceedingly healthy, I remembered this afternoon I've forgotten to pay my rent and will be skint once more. Feel free to send me some money. I'll PM you the account number and sort code.


And incidentally, I do bank with HSBC!!!


However my grammar and spelling is better than that
