Thank you for using HSBC BANKING

Now my Bank is Hereford State Bank ( HSB) And I was thinking this was 
real until I notice the image
at the bottom of the letter said  "Issued for UK use only" Since I live 
in Texas this rang alarm bells.

What really got me was the web link. It is using a https: server.
My number one way to judge if a email is real or not is to see if they 
are sending you to a http or https, since
the rule of thumb is that only legit companies has https servers.
Now I'm going to have to be even more careful of emails.
