HSBC fraud call? How to spot a scam!

The HSBC Fraud team wasnt shure about the transactions, so they declinded to give me any informations, but when I called the number on the back of my card, it turned out there had been some transactions on my card in the USA, which was a shock!

After receiving a message to contact the fraud prevention team urgently, I obtained an alternative number from the HSBC website (03457404404) and verified its authenticity, resolving the issue with the flag on my card.

Typically, this number is used by HSBC's Fraud department to contact customers about suspicious transactions or constantly declined transactions.

Following a call and text from 0345 608 1878 regarding an unusual transaction attempt on my HSBC account, I contacted the bank directly via a different number to verify the authenticity of the claim, which was confirmed by the HSBC Fraud department.

Recieved a call, ended it due to suspicion. Got a text asking to call 0345 6008891. Still cautious, I contacted HSBC's main line. They confirmed it was genuine, so I called back. They were checking a potential fraudulent payment, which turned out to be fine. Better safe than sorry :-)

The call showed as spam, they claimed to be from HSBC, but I wasnt shure, so I terminated the call and contacted First Direct afterwards to check if there was a problem with my account, it was a genuine call about a purchase I made a few days before, but it pays to be cautious.

Following a call from this number regarding a potential scam on my card, I reached out to HSBC's customer support via their mobile app and was assured this number belonged to their fraud specialists; after verifying the legitimacy, I cooperated and was pleased with their diligence in security matters

I received a genuine call from HSBC, representing M&S Bank, regarding a declined transaction; after verifying the call through the number left in the voicemail, I was grateful for their prompt action in stopping a potential scam and compromising my account.
