uh hsbc doesnt have bak branches anymore sold them to first niagara and key bank definite scam
It's HSBC . They've called 7 times since yesterday. I just called back and they were looking for the person that must of had the number before I did. It's not a scam.
We get calls from this number 4-6 times per day on our business line. Contacted HSBC as we do have a business account with them and they do not use this number, so please don't be fooled.
Continuous calls. I never answer. They never leave a message. I wonder how many people were "born yesterday" and fall for this scam. I hope sites like this help those folks learn about the perils of identity theft.
I received calls from this number several times a day, never answering it, thinking it would go away--wrong. I called back and spoke with Jason, who asked for my account number. I do not have an account number. Jason suggested when the number calls again, tell the rep to take my number from the calling list. When the number called me again and the rep asked for "Alexander", I politely indicated I do not know any Alexander and asked that my number be removed from the account. The rep was very polite and indicated my number would be removed from the account. I have not received any calls since, so do not be afraid to answer to stop the calls.
I worked for the bank for 10 years and just recently left as 3 months ago. This is not an HSBC Customer Service number nor is a collections number. Unless things have changed with their customer service numbers in the last 3 months, this is a scam. I still keep in touch with past co workers and beware that this is not an HSBC Customer service number. Do not ever give them any details. If you feel that it is an HSBC related matter, call 1-800-975-HSBC and ask for collections. Do not ever take a call from someone claiming to be a bank. I have seen to many times people getting scammed for believing that a personal matter was really nothing more than stealing your personal details and using them for fraud.
The hours of operation for the HSBC collections department is 8am-9pm Mon-Thurs and 8am-4:15pm Fri-Sun. If you are past due on your account their dialer program will keep trying to reach you at the numbers you provided on your account. If you don't answer within a few rings the dialer will hang up rather than letting it ring incessantly. How did I get this information? I just answered my phone and asked why they were calling me. I wasn't afraid to give my name because I knew I wasn't going to give them any financial information. I did a follow up call to be sure I was speaking with HSBC by requesting the name of the reps manager and his direct extension. I called the number on the back of my HSBC credit card and because I was past due on my account, my call was directed to the collections department and I reached another rep, who verified the managers name and direct extension number.
This # has been calling my phone off the hook for the past week finally deceided to answer and this guy says his name is patrick and he is from HSBC collections dept. Becareful because he knew how much i had in my account but i would not verify anything with him. I'm going to report them, these people are crazy.
