i guess by now we can easily detect that this email is a phishing one, but for those who fail to note the glaring signs of fraud. here we go;
1 the website is incorrect, when you click on it, you are redirected to a spoof website and besides the link giving doesnt belong to HSBC for that matter.
2 A well respected bank like HSBC  wouldnt employ persons who would litter their alleged email notifications with all sort of grammatical blunders.
3 If you use hsbc, you wouldnt find their email in your junk and they wouldnt need your details because they already have it.
