I have been getting these for a while, but its through a yahoo account I have, but I now use google and had set it up to retrieve the emails from my yahoo account, so I only have to log into my google account.

Fortunely the wizards at google have flagged everyone as a virus and left them on the server. All the same theme to do with a parcel.

Just looking there, I dont get any of these in my google address, but I do get them at my yahoo address, which is the email address I have registered at this forum  :-\ maybe nothing just a little annoying thought at the back of my head when I see other members having the same thing.

Anyone else had these?

I get numerous e mails purporting to come from HSBC.
I had one today that was slightly different.
It said that someone had tried to access my online account on Monday at 09.03 but a mistake had been made on the log in attempt.
