We have now added the 'phishing@hsbc.com' email address to our 'security page'. This means that this can now be reached from virtually every page on our personal internet banking website. Ken - I wish it were that easy! We liaise with police services around the world. Their focus however is not individual phishing websites (typically hosted in one country under false names, and operated remotely from another country), but on identifying and prosecuting the organised gangs behind such scams. The gathering of evidence is slow and complicated, so we rely (successfully) on the willing co-operation of ISP's who are unwittingly hosting such sites. Once identified these are taken down almost immediately. Martin – thanks for this feedback. We have now added the ‘phishing@hsbc.com’ email address to our ‘security page’.
