Rang saying from HSBC, when I said I was wary they told me to check the number on the HSBC website as it matches, HSBC send pushes through banking app if genuine in my past experience, asked if I had set up a direct debit today, when I said I was suspicious and I would hang up and ring HSBC back myself they hung up on me.

called from HSBC today - funnily enough I have been talking to HSBC so thought this might be genuine. The lady in a northern English accent said 'my system has crashed, can I get your account number and sort code.' They are really convincing. I said 'as if I am going to talk to you. call me back when you have the information.' These people are good. The accent made me think she was calling from HSBC because the lady i spoke to last week sounded the same...

Appears to come from HSBC. Previously called from 0345 587 3660. Another number flagged as being from a fraudster. Please note, I spoke to a person on the latter number and was convinced it was genuinely from HSBC. Beware.
