Dear HSBC.co.uk Account Holder,

We have recently determined that different computers have been logging into your Online Banking HSBC Account, due to multiple password failures we have reached the conclusion that your account might have been bruteforced for this reason we are asking you to verify your account. If you don't manage to verify yourself as the account holder we will put a temporary block on your account.

Please confirm that you are the true account holder :

Subject: Payment request pending.

This one is strange. Unless the link below is a typo, it all makes no sense as a scam. Amusingly, the sender is "Flagstar Shoping Department". Never trust a bank that can't spell shopping.

Dear Valued Customer,

We recorded a payment request from "Internet Friends Network -iFriends.net - GirlsShow" to enable the charge of $ 121,44 on your account. Because the order was made from an european internet address, we put an ExceptionPayment on transaction id #POS02-284493 motivated by our Geographical TrackingSystem.THE PAYMENT IS PENDING FOR THE MOMENTIf you didn't make this payment and would like to decline the $ 122.34 billing to yourcard, please follow the link below to cancel the payment:Cancel this payment (transaction id #POS02-284493)
