Why i have posted this email here?

To make you understand that this is a kind of Phishing email.

These spammers pretend as if they are from legitimate source (your bank) and try to get sensitive information such as user name, passwords, credit card numbers, etc...

How to identify?

Check if you really have an account with that bank
Point your mouse over the URL and check at the bottom to see if it is taking to the right source
Check for the spellings and grammar (Example: HBSC)
Check the from address. If you are unsure then report it as SPAM.
