HSBC Bank Personal and Commercial Update Your Details -- ref: 218

The HSBC are the target for the second time in just a few days. A different approach this time around.

This time around it's back to the old story of the maintenance / technical / security department have updated their system and customers need to 'approve' their details (???) - although if you aren't a customer...

The link is actually pointing at http://personal9.hsbc.com.tag95.com/updateform/?session=[removed]. I can only find 1 other search result for tag95.com, and that's for an Abbey phishing email.

Here's the content:

Dear HSBC Internet Banking client!

Our Maintenance Division is carrying out an arranged OnLine Banking software update.

By visiting the link below you will start the procedure of the customer details approval:
