Sorry, but you're foolish if you gave him/them your private/financial info as it sounds like a scam. Well, either that or YOU'RE working with THEM and trying to get people here to trust them when they call by giving a "good" review of them. There are plenty of scammers out there that will use a business's good name to gain the trust of the people they call. Just because they SAY they are with a particular company, doesn't mean they are. They could easily be Joe Schmoe calling from his home/cell phone. You trust NO ONE over the phone. I don't give ANYONE private info over the phone, esp. when THEY call me and I ALWAYS verify their reason for calling by calling the company's number back(but that's only IF I actually have some business or a loan with them or something. Given that I have no credit debt, no loans that I owe, etc...then I KNOW for sure it's a SCAM so I ignore them and report it.). You do know that A LOT of these types of calls are done so using "spoofed" numbers(sometimes using the names of real/legitimate companies don't you? You NEVER EVER give out personal or credit info over the phone/email no matter who they say they are! If you have an actual debt, then YOU call the bank, school, or whoever handles your loan to verify any info. You also should have something in writing, regarding your debts. If you notice, many of these callers NEVER mail you anything, they just call you hoping you'll bite on it and give them your info. Bottom line and my general rule? I call YOU(the actual company, bank, etc...that I have business with if there is a concern), you don't call me to "verify" anything of mine(esp over the phone!).

5 calls starting at 8 on a Sunday. Will not give company name or why calling.. Why should I trust them?

It's HSBC. I was overdrawn for more than 3 weeks and they called. Asked me to make payment over phone, but told them I would go to branch instead. No push back. Made branch deposit and called them back to verify receipt. It's a legit call, but like you said, don't give out info if there are other means at your disposal.

This is HSBC Bank Credit Card. They were calling because i missed last month's payment.The number is legitimate. I verified this by calling their number back. The reason I received several hang-up calls from their number is because it is their policy to not leave messages. They only talk to people who answer their phones for real.

If you feel the number is a scam call HSBC and have them transfer you to collections and then ask what the direct number is for the department

You can easily call HSBC and request they transfer you to collections and confirm the number with them

Call the HSBC main customer service they can transfer you to internal collections where you can confirm the number. This is legitimate.

Just received my last call from joseph .Could not supply any nifo about me. Told him I know this is a scam and the FBI is listening in, he then hung up the phone.

I have been getting these calls but they just hang up when I answer. It could be HSBC because I do have accounts with them, but why the hangups? HSBC has gotten a little strange for me. When they redid their web site in October they required that you give a 'Memorable Answer'. The problem is that here is no 'Memorable Question'. Then you don't enter your password but parts of it, kind of like a cryptogram. If I become certain that HSBC is calling me and hanging up, I'll move my accounts to a local Savings and Loan with no 'Memorable Answers'.

Be warned: I just talked to an HSBC rep that I was getting one call per hour yesterday at work on my cell by an 800 number - 1800-524-9686. I finally called them back this morning. A recording came on and said "thank you for calling. please wait for a representative." Then a woman came on and I asked her who was I calling, she said "Ma'am you are calling HSBC. May I have your account number?" I said, "No, I won't give you my number be because I know the 800-975-HSBC number as well as the card reporting number. I asked her to verify my account instead. I gave her my phone number and she said, we don't have an account with you. Sorry for disturbing you." That's when I knew this was not a legit HSBC number. If you go on HSBC's number you won't find their number either.HSBC has been very good in keeping track of fraudulent charged on my account even if it is under $10.00. I called HSBC and reported the 800-524-9686 number. Be very careful.
