Just received this email, I don't know what to do, as I don't bank with HSCB, should I immediately try and open an account, so that I can act on emails like this, or should I do what I normally do, and bin it?

Yeah, right!

:D :D :D :D

You can joke, but when I ran my business, checking my bank statement, £12,000,000 had been deposited!

Unfortunately, it was a bank error. :(

You should have withdrawn a couple of £million & gambled it on red ..... you'd have had a 50 50 chance! A bit like Accused last night!! :y :y :y
