I've just had one saying get £50 credited to your HSBC account for answering a few questions in a survey.

I was quite disappointed as I don't have an HSBC account

its amazing how inventive some of these emails have become

most of them are pure lol, but every now and again I get some pretty convincing ones. I too have had the 'complete a survey one' but from Halifax

I would advise anyone reading NOT to click the link.

Interesting as site appears to have been hijacked and attached to a genuine site?

Gillani appliances seems genuine, with a website, though if these people have hijacked part of the site, what next. I have reported the said to the website.

You'd think with the money these scammers must make they could at least get someone in to sort out the English grammar!

I keep getting emailing from Twitter saying I have unread messages on my account.

Funny thing is that I've never registered with Twitter nor visited it. Gmail are good at picking up the phishing ones
