Reports on phone number 01179296918
6 yearsReally wasn’t sure at first so asked for the payment by cheque, and it actually arrived today for £50.6 yearsJust wanted to share an update from the letter I sent back in May. I’ve just got £50 credited into my bank account from HSBC as some sort of "redress payment".HSBC6 yearsIm quite sure this isnt a rip off! The phone number and letter really are from HSBC!HSBC6 yearsSo I got this letter and decided to ring the number on it. At first, it just kept going to ringout with no answer. I gave it another shot later and finally heard a message saying it was HSBC. Seems like the letter is legit after all!HSBC6 yearsThis number has rung me a few times but I couldn't answer, does anyone know who it is? Cheers.6 yearsThis was definitely a scam message!6 yearsI can assure you it's not a fraudulent scheme - I actually got a cheque for £100 from them! The number listed on the correspondence is legitimate too 😊. They experienced some initial hiccups with the phone line while they were getting their staff organised to work remotely. The chap I spoke with mentioned that the letter was kept succinct to avoid sharing loads of personal details in case the recipient had moved away from that address.6 yearsIf you’re feeling uncertain, it’s best to give HSBC a bell or drop them a message on Facebook, as I did. They assured me the call was legitimate. You can even request a cheque, which wouldn’t be an option if it were a con. Those who claim “HSBC labelled it as a scam” likely haven’t reached out themselves. Regarding the business review contact number, it might not function properly at the moment, given the number of folks working from home, leading to a shortage of available lines. Our own company struggles to manage every single call right now too!HSBCFacebook6 yearsReceived an alarming letter from HSBC today that put me in a bit of a tizzy! They claimed that my account had been frozen due to suspicious activity and provided a phone number for me to ring in order to rectify the situation. Thankfully, I decided to investigate the number online before making any calls, as the letter felt rather dodgy. Turns out, I was bang on the money - it’s a complete scam!HSBC6 yearsHuge thanks to the WhoCalledMe Team for clearing that up! This letter’s definitely legit, not a scam at all!WhoCalledMe6 yearsIf you're ever unsure, just head to HSBC's official site and use their live chat in the help section. They'll be able to tell you if it's legit or not, pretty handy to check before you trust anything.HSBC6 yearsI was told it might take as long as 28 days before anything happens.6 yearsAbsolute nonsense, a complete con!6 yearsAt 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.HSBC6 yearsHas anyone actually received any payment so far?6 yearsHSBC 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"HSBCFacebook6 yearsLooks really official but I checked with HSBC and they said it’s not from them. Definitely a scam, so best to ignore it.HSBC6 yearsThose saying this isn’t a scam, I reckon they’re probably the scammers themselves. This isn’t genuine - they’re just after your cash.6 yearsI called HSBC just to be sure and they said the letter was definitely genuine and safe, so you can trust it.HSBC6 yearsWarning, this is definitely a scam! Stay away!6 yearsAt 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.HSBC6 yearsGot a letter from HSBC today, which is weird because I closed my account ages ago. Popped into the branch to check and they said there’s no record of me in their system anymore. They just told me to keep the letter. Strange!HSBC6 yearsSo, 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.HSBC6 yearsI just phoned the number I found on the HSBC site, and they confirmed it’s legit. Thing is, I haven’t dealt with them since about 2008 or 2009.HSBC6 yearsJust give HSBC customer support a buzz. They’ll be able to verify it for you, no doubt.HSBC6 yearsThis really is a proper letter.6 yearsI 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.HSBCSantanderFinancial Conduct Authority6 yearsI got a letter supposedly from HSBC saying they had money to pay me and to ring a number or visit a site. The link took me to some dodgy external webpage and then they tried to steal money from me. Don’t believe it, it’s a total scam!HSBC6 yearsToday, 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?6 yearsRight, 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.HSBC6 yearsYesterday I got a letter from HSBC dated 05/05/20, and it looked really genuine! It said something like "We might owe you some money." My husband had a go at calling the number provided but couldn’t get anyone on the line, thankfully.HSBC6 yearsI came across a letter purporting to be from HSBC, but it seems to be a complete scam. Don’t let yourself be misled into believing it’s genuinely from the bank. The document is clearly a shoddy impersonation, as it lacks proper branding, the layout is off, and even the footer with the company number doesn’t match up. Stay vigilant!HSBC6 yearsI got this letter that looked really legit and I filled out the form they sent. Then, I received a text with a link, but it was all a scam. Be careful and don’t trust it!6 yearsReceived what looked like a scam from HSBC, so I’ve reported it both to HSBC themselves and Trading Standards to be on the safe side.HSBCTrading Standards6 yearsGot a letter claiming to be from HSBC and it had this number on it. Decided to look it up before calling, and now I'm not sure I wanna ring them at all.HSBC6 yearsLike 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.HSBC6 yearsGot a letter and decided to ring HSBC since I used to have an account with them. They told me it's legit and that the number 0345 is their official contact. Honestly, I’m not sure why anyone would say it’s fake if it really isn’t.HSBC6 yearsI usually just ignore calls from numbers I don't know, so I have no clue who rang me. Don't pick up if you don't recognise the number!6 yearsGot a letter just like the one someone else mentioned here, but I’m not even with HSBC. Very odd!HSBC6 yearsGot a letter recently claiming I might be owed money from HSBC, and it had this number to call. When I rang them back using the official HSBC contact, something about it just felt off, like it could be a scam. Pretty sure it's dodgy.HSBC6 yearsI rang HSBC using a number I found online, just to be sure, and they told me it’s definitely a scam letter going around. They said it looks pretty legit, so be careful and just bin it if you get one.HSBCGoogle6 yearsI got a letter from a person saying they're from HSBC with a phone number on it. When I tried calling, it just rang for a bit then hung up. They want you to fill out a form with your personal info and bank details to get a refund. It seemed legit at first, but I checked with HSBC and they said it’s not them. Watch out and don’t get caught out!HSBC6 yearsGot a letter today that looked like it was from HSBC, saying I’m owed cash from an old account I haven’t had in ages. Total scam, looks really fishy! Don’t fall for it. Best thing to do is ring up HSBC directly and let them know about it!HSBC6 yearsI recently received a letter that bore the number indicated, claiming to be from the HSBC Business Review Centre based in Bristol. But when I attempted to call the number, it rang briefly before the other party hung up. The letter also included a link directing me to the HSBC website, urging me to provide my banking information. I'm convinced it's a scam, so I would strongly advise against filling in any details. I've already contacted HSBC, and they're looking into the matter. Stay vigilant!HSBC Business Review CentreBristolHSBC6 yearsI can relate to the experience shared in the previous comment. Not long ago, I too received a letter similar to the one mentioned. When I decided to ring the number listed, they simply cut the line on me. I took the initiative to contact HSBC to report the issue, but my experience was rather disappointing-unlike the luck of the other commenter. The chap I spoke to seemed utterly oblivious and claimed he’d place me on hold, but after enduring a lengthy wait of twenty minutes, he ended up hanging up instead! No follow-up or callbacks were provided whatsoever. It’s one of the key reasons I parted ways with HSBC quite some time ago. Anyway, I do hope others come across these messages, as it seems the bank isn't keen on addressing this matter, and it's crucial for people to be aware of these scams to avoid getting ensnared!HSBC6 yearsToday, I received a letter in the post. I went ahead and entered the web address it provided, but the site turned out to be quite dodgy. So, I decided to Google the phone number instead, and found a plethora of comments warning that it’s a scam. Quite unsettling, really!Google6 yearsI just got a letter through the post today. Initially, I thought it was a dodgy scam, so I decided to give HSBC a bell instead of calling the number listed on the letter. The person I spoke to assured me it was indeed a legitimate communication from HSBC.HSBC6 yearsI've received a similar letter myself, and after waiting on hold for ages and getting disconnected twice while speaking to HSBC directly, they assured me it was genuine. They suggested I give the number another go in a few days. Still, it does seem rather suspicious if you ask me!HSBC6 yearsI can relate to that! He managed to log into my ancient account and recited the message I received, letter for letter. He even validated the website address. I ended up looking up HSBC and visited their site to find their official phone number, just to be sure it was all above board.HSBC6 yearsThis letter is unquestionably a scam! The website isn't secure at all; it redirects you from HSBC to an Adobe Reader page where they request your personal details. It's crucial to avoid sharing any of your information. Stay vigilant!HSBCAdobe Reader6 yearsHave you completed the form yet? I'm in a similar situation myself. I called HSBC using the number listed on their site, and the representative confirmed that they could see the correspondence sent my way, reassured me it's the real deal. I went ahead and filled it out, but chose to receive a cheque instead.HSBC6 yearsI’ve verified that it’s an authentic correspondence. Had a chat with them about it.6 yearsIt's certainly a legitimate correspondence, but I'm left pondering what the payment is intended for?6 yearsI received the correspondence, and it's clearly a fraudulent attempt. I mean, why on earth would your bank request your account information through some dodgy little website?6 yearsWhat are the indicators that suggest this might be a fraudulent scheme?6 yearsI can’t shake off the nagging feeling that some of the remarks claiming it’s not a scam are, in fact, coming from the very fraudsters themselves. Please exercise caution! I strongly advise you to reach out to HSBC directly rather than using any contact details provided in that letter or dialing the number mentioned. Use the official number from HSBC’s website instead. It appears that a fair few of us have only just received this letter today. Stay vigilant!HSBC6 yearsI’ve just had a chat with HSBC's customer service team. They assured me that the letter isn’t a scam and suggested I ring the number provided for further details. The representative mentioned that the number belongs to their Business Review Centre. However, I still have my doubts. I’m considering popping into my local branch to get their take on it. It’s been nearly a decade since I was with HSBC, so I’d be quite surprised if they have any funds owing to me. If anyone else has come across this or has any insights, please do let us know!HSBCBusiness Review Centre6 yearsJust got a letter in the post today. Haven’t held an HSBC account in donkeys. What on earth is this payment related to?HSBC6 yearsI’ve just done a quick search for the address 120 Redcliff Street, and it turned up a different contact number: 0845 745 6125. You might want to take a look at the details here: https://www.bristol.org.uk/info/1697/.Redcliff Street6 yearsToday, I too received that letter. I share the same concerns as many have expressed here. The quality of the paper initially made me suspicious, particularly as I still hold four accounts with HSBC, yet the letter claims uncertainty about my banking relationship with them. I reached out to three different departments: HSBC Business, HSBC Advance, and their Safeguard team. They all assured me that the letter is indeed legitimate, and I requested they verify the website and information provided. It's worth noting that HSBC retains copies of all communications in their system for reference. For those who are feeling uneasy, I suggest contacting the HSBC number listed on their official site for clarification. I’ve filled out the form they sent, which does require some personal information but does not ask for PINs or security codes. I hope this brings some peace of mind, RobHSBCHSBC BusinessHSBC AdvanceSafeguardRob6 yearsI’ve just had a chat with HSBC regarding a letter my partner received today. It’s a bit baffling, to be honest, as she hasn’t had any dealings with them for quite a while, and we’ve also changed our address since then. The woman I spoke to mentioned that the contact number isn’t actually linked to HSBC, which just adds to the confusion. It’s a curious situation, particularly with some folks insisting it's all above board.HSBC6 yearsI was informed that these payments cover various fees and charges associated with all sorts of products, including overdrafts, loans, and credit cards. Strangely, she didn’t bring up anything regarding mortgages.6 yearsI passed on the letter reference number to the lady at HSBC's customer service, and it was found in their records. I reckon I could follow the lead of someone else I spotted in the comments and ask for a cheque instead, so I won't have to share any bank account information.HSBC6 yearsI've asked for a cheque, so they really can’t dig up any more details about me than they already possess! I've rang up HSBC using the number on my debit card three times, chatting with three distinct representatives, and they all verified that it's genuine. They managed to view the letter, the references, and the website link. Apparently, they’ve covered the cost for a licence to distribute forms through Adobe because of the pandemic. The lady even mentioned that if you're still feeling uneasy, you can pop into your local branch between 10 and 2.HSBCAdobe6 yearsIt seems to be authentic.6 yearsI’m rather puzzled by this situation. If the letter is indeed authentic, then why does the phone just go silent when I attempt to ring it? It's been more than a decade since I’ve held an HSBC account, yet I received this correspondence only today. When I got in touch with HSBC, they assured me the letter is valid, but then they mentioned I supposedly called at around 1:32 PM. The thing is, I haven’t contacted them in all these years! It seems there's a bit of a mix-up here; something doesn’t quite add up.HSBC6 yearsI've had a natter with them on the phone too. It's mainly concerning dormant accounts holding mere pennies or a pound or two, and HSBC is simply trying to ascertain whether you wish to claim the funds or keep the account active. For me, it's a whopping 66 pence! It’s definitely worth giving the bank a bell, as it’s the real deal.HSBC6 yearsReceived a letter today that raised a few eyebrows. I decided to give the official HSBC number a bell to verify its authenticity. They assured me it’s absolutely a scam. Best to steer clear of it!HSBC6 yearsI’ve no doubt that this is a complete con. A woman informed me that I was owed a hundred quid due to some fees, but when I attempted to ring back, the line just went silent. I tried calling from another number, and a bloke picked up, insisting I owed nine hundred for alleged overcharges. Yet again, when I called back, there was no response. It’s as clear as day-this is definitely a scam!6 yearsI too received a rather unexpected letter today. It’s been ages since I parted ways with HSBC, so I'm quite baffled by how my details resurfaced. I decided to ring HSBC directly using the number from their official site-definitely not the one from the letter. After a rather tiresome ten-minute wait on the line, a woman informed me that the correspondence was indeed from them and suggested I follow the instructions provided via the link. I can't shake off my doubts, though; the link looks dodgy and provides zero information regarding this so-called payout. Even after my conversation with HSBC, they were rather elusive, leaving me quite puzzled about the entire situation!HSBC6 yearsI can assure you, this letter isn't some dodgy scheme. Just today I got one of those letters myself and attempted to ring the number, only to have the call disconnected. I ended up contacting HSBC's customer service. After waiting for what felt like an eternity-25 minutes on hold, to be precise-the representative confirmed it was indeed from their office. He had a copy of the letter right in front of him once I gave him the reference number.HSBC6 yearsSo, what does the letter actually contain?6 yearsI can assure you, this correspondence from HSBC is without a doubt a fraudulent attempt. Having spent considerable time in the banking sector, it’s clear to me that if you've not had any dealings with HSBC for some time-as I haven’t-and have updated your address, there’s no feasible way for them to send you anything unless you've officially informed them of your new details, which I certainly haven’t done. This letter reeks of a scam. Frankly, the customer service team at HSBC who are insisting its legitimacy ought to undergo further training to avoid such misunderstandings in the future.HSBCFrankly6 yearsYou mention that there's a need for adequate training, yet it puzzles me how they can recite the contents of the letter verbatim. And what about the sources? When I inquired about how they were aware of my existing address, the representative mentioned they performed a soft credit check and sourced it from the electoral register. I brought my letter into my nearest branch in Redditch, and they verified its authenticity without hesitation. The staff member even pulled up a digital version of the letter on her screen to show me.Redditch6 yearsI took the liberty of contacting HSBC directly, considering I haven’t been a client for quite some time. They assured me that the call was indeed legitimate; the representative recited the contents of the letter to me with impressive accuracy. If you're curious, just search for "HSBC refunds" online-it pertains to their failure to notify customers about the use of an unauthorised overdraft.HSBC6 yearsI also went through the same process, as I actually reached out to HSBC directly after sourcing their number from their official site. They advised me to proceed in this manner too, so I reckon it’s genuine. When the site popped up on my screen, it bore that reassuring padlock symbol in the corner. The chap from the authentic HSBC confirmed the website as well!HSBC6 yearsLet’s wait and see if this turns out to be the real deal. If funds get returned or, conversely, if any cash goes astray, that’ll really be the moment of truth, won’t it?6 yearsI had a chat with someone from HSBC's customer service after obtaining the number from a colleague of mine who works there. The lady on the other end assured me that it’s the genuine article and encouraged me to fill out the form. I must admit, I had my doubts at first, but I've gone ahead and filled it in. If I encounter any issues, I plan to reach out to HSBC again since they've verified its authenticity, and I know their calls are monitored for quality.HSBCSubmit Your Own Report (0117 929 6918)
