Please update your online profile HSBC PLC

HSBC Phishing EmailHere's one that's very similar in looks to the HSBC Phishing Email of November. The content is different slightly, this time it's as shown below.

The target domain does not seem to exist at the moment, but must have done as it does show with a page rank and Firefox does block the URL in question. It's well worth using Firefox if you are in any way worried about accidentally visiting these sites - the popup warning stops you going into them and gives you a chance to return to your home page.

Here's the content:
