Said was HSBC and when I said I didn't believe her and that I wasn't going to give her any info, she said to call the number on the back of my card. Probably to throw me off or gain my trust.

Women speaking from Indian straight away said I’m calling from hsbc could you go through security and give me your date of birth I asked and said what’s the reason for you call she said she couldn’t say just wanted all my details then she would tell me. Told her if you can’t explain why your calling don’t bother calling me again

Claimed to be from HSBC! I said that the bank would email me or write to me if they wanted to get in contact. They ask for all your details without giving a reason as to why. I never give them my details and tell them I think they are a scam and hang up. HSBC hasn’t contacted me in any other form so I believe this to be a scam.

HSBC scam - highly sophisticated, involving keeping a line open and fake dial tone etc. when calling the genuine HSBC fraud number. Real concern that it was triggered by a genuine banking transaction. Would be interested if anyone else has similar suspicion.

By their own intention, HSBC are notoriously difficult to contact by phone so a phone call from them was welcome at first. However, no notice was given of a phone call coming from them, and when they started asking for my personal details it was possibly a spam call so I hung up. Before this happened, they asked me to ring them if I wasn't comfortable taking the call. (So I did ring them. Naturally enough, I couldn't get through to HSBC to speak with a human). Scammers may be exploiting users frustrations at trying to get thru to HSBC. Be careful out there!

Claim to be from HSBC or other UK companies to confirm personal details for their database. They spam call multiple times almost every day. Either ignore their calls or waste their time by responding “OK” to everything. Whatever you do, do not respond with “Yes” to anything as they will likely keep and use this as vocal verification.
