Really wasn’t sure at first so asked for the payment by cheque, and it actually arrived today for £50.

This isn’t a scam, I actually got sent a £100 cheque from them and the contact number on the letter does pick up 😊 They had some issues early on with the phone line since they were organising their staff to work remotely. The guy told me the letter was quite short on purpose so they wouldn’t give away too much personal stuff in case the addressee had moved out.

If you're unsure, try ringing HSBC directly or even messaging them on Facebook like I did. They told me it’s legit. Plus, they let you choose to get a cheque, which wouldn’t be an option if it were a scam. Some folks saying “HSBC said it’s a scam” probably haven’t actually contacted the bank. Also, the business review number might not pick up 'cos many staff are working from home now and there aren’t as many phone lines open. Our company can’t answer every call either at the moment.

Today I received a letter claiming to be from HSBC, which honestly gave me a right scare. It said my bank account was frozen due to some suspicious actions and had this number to ring for help. Before doing anything, I Googled the number and, well, the whole thing was dodgy - definitely a scam trying to catch people out!

At first I was a bit iffy about the letter I got, seemed dodgy. But after ringing up HSBC myself, they told me it’s legit. I don’t get why some folks say it’s a scam, sounds like they never actually called HSBC to check. They’re apparently paying back some old fees as a kind gesture, just to prove who they really are. The worst they can do with your sort code and account number is set up a direct debit - which you can always stop if you need to. Felt there was nothing to risk so I went ahead and entered my details after making sure with HSBC it’s all above board.

HSBC was the caller. The letter seemed legit. I tried phoning and chatting live but no luck getting through. If you're doubtful, try hitting them up on Facebook like I did. They replied saying, "Hi ##### - The photo you sent is a bit blurry on Facebook, but this looks like one of the real remediation letters we've been sending out lately. There should be this link: [#]grp.hsbc/618717SeX for you to fill in your info, since we need to pay you some amounts we've checked and found you are owed. ^Mill"

At first, I was a bit suspicious about the letter since I’m not even a customer. To be sure, I rang up a different number I found for HSBC (the proper official one) and they told me the letter was legit. They said they could put me through but it was outside business hours, so I’ll give the number on the letter a go first thing tomorrow morning.

So, I work in IT and when I got contacted by someone claiming to be HSBC, I checked if they actually use Adobe Echo Sign - turns out they do. Then I verified the email address with HSBC directly and they said it was legit. Still, I figured, what’s the worst that could happen if I share just my Account Number and Sort Code? The only thing they could do is set up a direct debit, but that can be cancelled pretty quick. Honestly, I’d rather have the money in my account than theirs.

I actually got in touch with HSBC both on the phone and through their live chat, plus I know someone who works there. The letter points to HSBC[###][###]/icocr1, which is definitely legit. It’s mainly about HSBC and Santander running into issues with the FCA over dodgy charges and how they notify customers about arranged and unarranged overdrafts.

Today, I got something through the post and found it quite odd since I shut my account back in 2013. What’s weird is the letter was sent to my current address, which I only moved into less than a year ago. I honestly have no idea how they managed to find where I live now. I checked with the bank, and they say it's all above board. Still, I'm honestly baffled at how they got my latest address so quickly - I only moved here three months ago. Is it becoming normal for identity fraud to happen like this?

Right, I phoned HSBC using the 03457404404 number listed on their official site, and I can say for sure this letter is totally genuine. The woman I spoke to rang the 0117 number for me and put me straight through. So I really don't get why some folks here say they called HSBC and claim it's a scam. I'm genuinely confused.

Like others have said about HSBC, when I called the number, it just rang and then someone hung up. I contacted HSBC through their official live chat and the person there said they’re looking into this "letter", which seemed odd because it had our new address on it. We haven't used HSBC for years, even before we moved. Honestly, it looks like a scam to me - don’t click any links they include.

I got one of those letters too, just like someone else mentioned. When I dialled the number, they just ended the call straight away. I also tried contacting HSBC to let them know, but unlike the other person’s experience, the person I spoke to there didn’t seem to get it at all. He said he was putting me on hold, but I was on hold for about 20 minutes waiting for someone, and then he just hung up on me. No follow-up or anything. Honestly, that’s part of why I quit with HSBC years back. Anyway, I hope folks find these comments because if the bank won’t deal with it, at least people can recognise the scam and avoid getting caught out!

That letter seems totally fake to me. The website isn’t safe at all - it redirects you away from HSBC to Adobe Reader and then tries to get you to enter your personal info. I’d seriously recommend not sharing any of your details with them.

I have a bad feeling that some of the replies saying "it's genuine" might actually be from the scammers pretending to be legit...

Looks like quite a few of us got this letter today.

I just spoke with HSBC’s customer service team and they told me the letter isn’t a scam. They said if I need more details, I should ring the number listed on the letter. Apparently, that number connects to their Business Review Centre. I'm still not completely convinced though. I’m thinking of taking the letter to my local branch to get their opinion. I haven’t banked with HSBC for nearly a decade, so it would be surprising if they do owe me anything. If anyone else has dealt with this or knows more, please let me know!

Just got this letter today myself and I have to say, all those dodgy comments here ring true. I found it a bit fishy from the start, especially since the paper felt way too posh and it even mentioned they weren’t sure if I bank with them - which I still do, with 4 HSBC accounts! I ended up calling 3 different departments - HSBC Business, HSBC Advance, and the Safeguard team. They all assured me it was legit and double checked the website and info on the letter. Apparently HSBC keeps a record of all letters sent, so that gave me some peace of mind. For anyone worried, I’d recommend ringing the official HSBC contact found on their website to double-check. I’ve filled in the form myself, it does ask for some personal info but nothing like your PIN or security details. Hopefully that puts some minds at ease. Cheers, Rob

I just finished chatting with HSBC after my partner got a letter from them today. We’re a bit puzzled because she hasn’t used HSBC for ages and we’ve changed our address since then. When I rang, the woman told me the number’s not even an HSBC one, which sounds odd. It’s all a bit confusing, especially since some folks say it’s genuine.

She only said the charges cover fees on overdrafts, loans, and credit cards, never brought up anything about mortgages. They claimed the payments were linked to all products but didn’t include mortgages in that at all.

I’ve asked for a cheque to be sent, so they don’t get any more details from me than what’s already out there! I rang HSBC using the number on my bank card about three times and chatted with different people each call. Every one of them assured me it’s genuine. They could check the letter, the references, and even the web address. Apparently, they’ve got a licence for sending forms through Adobe because of the COVID situation. One of the staff mentioned that if I’m still worried, I should pop into my local branch between 10 and 2 to sort things out.

If this is really legit then why does the phone just cut off when you try ringing it ? I stopped having anything to do with HSBC ages ago, like over a decade back, and yet I got this letter today. When I phoned HSBC myself, they said it was a genuine letter but also mentioned I was supposedly informed earlier today at 1.32pm. Thing is, I haven’t spoken to HSBC or called them in years, so something’s definitely fishy here.
HSBC

I spoke to them too, it’s just about some old accounts with a small amount of cash left, like a few pennies or a couple of pounds. HSBC are basically checking if you want to keep the account open or get the money out. For me it was only 66p. Definitely worth ringing the bank to check, it’s legit.

I’m pretty sure this was a total scam. Some woman said I owed £100 in fees, but when I tried calling back, there was no response and the call just died. Then I phoned again from a different number and a bloke answered, saying I had to pay £900 for extra charges. After that, no one picked up again. Honestly, it sounds like a classic scam to me.

Funny enough, I got the exact same letter today. I stopped banking with HSBC ages ago, so it was a bit shocking it turned up out of the blue. I rang HSBC using their official site number, definitely not the one on the letter. After waiting ages on hold, the woman on the line said the letter was genuine and told me to check the link provided. Still, I’m not convinced since the link isn’t secure and there’s hardly any info about this supposed payout. Even after chatting with HSBC, their answers were pretty unclear, so I’m still left unsure if it’s legit or not!

Today I got a letter like this and thought it might be dodgy, so I gave the number a bell to check. After waiting about 25 mins on hold with HSBC customer support, the bloke on the other end said it was legit and even had the letter in front of him when I gave him the reference. Definitely not a scam, at least from what I experienced.

So, what's the message inside the letter then?

I’m pretty sure this letter claiming to be from HSBC is a total scam. I actually work in finance, and I can tell you for sure that if you haven’t used HSBC as your bank for ages, like me, and you’ve moved house without updating your details with them - which I haven’t done - they wouldn’t be able to send you anything. So this letter has to be fake. Even the HSBC customer service team saying it’s real must need a serious refresher course on spotting scams.

They say the people doing this need better training, but it’s weird how they always know the script inside out, even the references. When I asked how they got my current address, the woman said they did a soft credit check and pulled info from the electoral register. I went straight to my local branch in Redditch with the letter, and they said it was totally legit. The lady there even pulled up the scanned copy on her computer to show me.
