4 yearsI received a call, but as soon as I picked up, there was nothing but silence on the other end. Quite strange, really!4 yearsI received a call from someone with a noticeable Indian accent, who purporting to represent the security team of HSBC. Given that I don’t actually have an account with them, I thought it best to block the number straight away.HSBC6 yearsGot a call from someone who had the wrong address, seemed like a scam. She ended the call as soon as I said that.6 yearsGot a call from some really nasty woman, and as soon as I questioned her, she just hung up on me.6 yearssome bloke from india called me and somehow had both my first and last name. feels a bit creepy, not gonna lie.India6 yearsGot a few calls over the past couple days from someone saying it’s for a survey or something, asking simple questions but then suddenly wanting to know whether I’ve heard of HSBC or just “the bank.” They seemed real keen on me saying HSBC, which was odd. I’m not even with HSBC, so it felt a bit off. Managed to dodge saying it so far, but it’s started to feel a bit dodgy with all the repeat calls.HSBC6 yearsGot a call from an Indian lady earlier. She wanted to know if I was miss "my actual name". I asked her who she was. Then she got annoyed and told me not to waste her time. Bit odd since she was the one who rang me!Miss6 yearsSeems like at least someone overseas found a job, even if it’s just ringing people without actually talking. They didn’t even bother chatting with me, so I guess their point was just to check if the number’s live. ######heads up everyone##ss###these s#### are still around and haven’t gone anywhere!6 yearsI picked up and there was nobody there. If you’re gonna call, at least have the courtesy to say something! Just a waste of time trying to trick me or push stuff I don’t need. Proper annoying!6 yearsOn the 4th of May 2020, about 4:15 in the afternoon, I got a call from 01656771840. I answered, but there was no one on the line. Honestly, it felt quite suspicious to me.6 yearsFor about a month now, I’ve been lucky with no annoying calls... then today that all changed.Submit Your Own Report (01656 771840)
