Comments:
  • Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at Household Bank by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.


  • Household Bank never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "http://www.householdbank.com/ccssa/ HBCustomerCare?cmd_Redirect=SecureUpdate".


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website has been chosen to look very similar to the actual Household Bank URL. Do not be fooled!

"Online banking is essentially safe but there are some areas where consumers remain vulnerable."

Dear Household Bank Customer,

Online banking is essentially safe but there are some areas where consumers remain vulnerable. In our efforts to offer a competitive service and to maintain a reliable database server, we are performing a regular update on every account enrolled with us to eliminate the possibility of money-laundering through one-day accounts. In order to confirm your account and to preserve the account stability, you are required to login to your account using the following link below:

http://www.householdbank.com/ccssa/ HBCustomerCare?cmd_Redirect=SecureUpdate

After the account has been confirmed by logging in, your regular daily actions on Capital One Online Banking website can be continued. However, in case your account is not registered in the Form before 23.08.06, it will be automatically frozen and suspended for further in-depth check. This procedure is valid both for individual and corporate clients.

Sorry for the inconveniences caused by this message. This procedure is performed one time only and it does not require further actions on the customer side. Looking forward to your understanding and full support.

Sincerely,
Household Bank Security Service
