The number was listed in a letter that claimed to be from M&S Bank, saying my credit‑card application had been declined – something I never applied for. For context, M&S Bank is part of the HSBC group. The letter hinted at credit‑rating issues and included a leaflet resembling the genuine M&S Bank one. Though it said no further action was needed, it provided this number for any questions, effectively prompting you to call despite having made no application and likely worrying you about your credit.

Expert Opinion
In Colchester last autumn, reports emerged of suspicious letters mimicking M&S Bank correspondence, urging calls to this number over fabricated credit card rejections. While some accounts suggest legitimacy tied to their fraud team, the majority flag it as a ploy to extract personal details, exploiting concerns over credit scores. Beware unsolicited contacts claiming bank issues; always verify directly via official channels like the number on your card or website. Under UK data protection laws, sharing info without confirmation risks identity theft—report to Action Fraud promptly. Hang up on unknowns and monitor accounts closely for anomalies.
