HSBC Scam Text – new device
The HSBC new device scam begins with an unsolicited phishing text sent to UK mobile owners. The message sent from the number +447931122717 is fairly typical:
HSBC: a new payment was attempted from a NEW DEVICE on 27/10 at 12.53pm. If this was not you please visit: https://secureredirect(.)live/hsbc/
The website secure redirect has been set up by scammers to look like the real HSBC website. However, anyone who actually clicks on the link will be on a site that is set up by fraudsters to steal personal and banking data. It includes login boxes which invite visitors to insert their login details. These details will be stored by the website and can be accessed by the scammers. Anyone who does input their details will be at extreme risk of becoming victims of fraud.
