HSBC New Payee Scam Text Fake Message
HSBC customers are to beware of fake texts that claim a "New Payee" was set up on their accounts. The fake texts are being sent by online scammers and NOT by HSBC.

But, the link goes to a fake HSBC website that steals account credentials, personal and financial information.
