Like everyone else, I get loads of e-mails advising me that there is a problem with my bank account and would I please log in using the link conveniently provided to confirm my account details. Invariably I fiorward the entire e-mail to the appropriate bank's e-mail scams address and hear nothing more. Not the other day however - I received advice that there was a problem with my HSBC account (which I don't have) so I dilligently forwarded same to the appropriate address of the HongKong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. Almost by return I received an acknowledgement e-mail thanking me for my trouble and containing loads of the standard advice as to how to avoid getting scammed.

P.P.
