Is that HSBC on the line? Spot the scam now!

Pretty sure it’s a scam call pretending to be from HSBC

Today, on 25/7/23, someone pretending to be from HSBC’s fraud department called and requested the last four digits of my sort code. Sensing something was off, I claimed not to know it. They then advised me to visit my local branch due to an alleged issue.

This appears to be a scam.

0345 600 2290

It's clear that this number is not affiliated with HSBC, as the person on the other end claimed to be from the fraud protection department and then asked for my personal details, i hung up and contacted HSBC's customer service, who confirmed it was a scam.

A man attempted to gain access to my internet banking through this number. Be cautious, HSBC will never contact you requesting such information.

A man claiming to be Michael Moore from HSBC contacted me about a supposed transaction attempt, but when I checked with HSBC, there was no record of such an attempt or a person by that name; it seems this number poses a significant threat.

Although the call appeared to come from HSBC, the caller was clearly fraudulent. They attempted to extract personal details by claiming suspicious activity on my account. I ended the call and verified with HSBC, who confirmed it was a scam and advised blocking the number.

The caller identified himself as James Clark from HSBC's Fraud Department, claiming there were suspicious transactions that I supposedly made on a Samsung device, which is not my phone. He seemed knowledgeable about certain bank details and wanted me to verify them. Realizing something was off, I decided to end the call and contact my bank directly. They confirmed it was a scam. Shortly after, I received another call from the same number but with a different voice, inquiring about my previous call. I was not polite in my response, and now this number is blocked.
