Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at HSBC by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
HSBC never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "http://www.hsbc.co.uk/1/2/ HSBCINTEGRATION/ CAM10;jsessionid= 0000hazADk7YxC6KK1Y9bfbpCZv: 11j56r6g2".
The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual HSBC URL.
