HSBC Phishing email

Checking my email, i noticed an email from HSBC. Firstly I don't bank with them so knew straight away its a phishing email.

I thought I would read the email, if it's to trick me it's got to be good and well spelt. The fact that an HTML page of the form I must fill out was attached, made me view the code afterwards, after some tracing I traced the IP back to a Mexican company.

Anyway for your enjoyment here is said email:
