Phone number ☎️ 08000852401 👆 is reported as a genuine HSBC contact number printed on the back of cards, yet widely exploited by scammers via number spoofing. While calls from this number can be legitimate HSBC communications, numerous users have experienced sophisticated fraud attempts where impostors, often well-spoken and informed, pose as HSBC fraud teams to extract sensitive information or pressure individuals into transferring money. The scammers exploit the trust in the displayed number, using urgency and plausible scenarios to deceive. Users are strongly advised to never provide personal or banking details over the phone, avoid following instructions from unsolicited calls, and always independently verify by contacting HSBC directly through official channels before taking any action. Vigilance and verification remain crucial to avoid falling victim to such scams.
Reports on phone number 08000852401
2 yearsI think some folks are getting confused here. That number is an actual HSBC contact, you can spot it right on the back of your card. When you ring it, you’ll get the standard machine voice and HSBC’s regular ID checks. But if you get a call showing that number and it seems off, it’s probably a scammer faking it pretending to be HSBC.HSBC3 yearsPretty good!3 yearsThat number’s actually the one printed on the back of HSBC cards. If you give it a ring, you can see if it’s legit. The scammers try to make you doubt it’s genuine.HSBC3 yearsHSBC rang me back. Definitely NOT a scam! Honestly, what’s the use of this app if folks keep spreading false info?HSBC4 yearsTOTALLY A SCAMMER!! (and i gotta say, they sound real good at it) They'll ask for stuff like the last 4 digits and other personal info, watch out!4 yearsLooks like a con artist trying to rip you off.4 yearsThat's definitely a con. They claim they're from HSBC, but once I called them on it, their story just didn’t add up anymore.HSBC4 yearsScam alert. They copied an HSBC number to try and commit fraud.HSBC4 yearsYeah it is really HSBC, I just flipped over my Debit and Credit cards to check. So for everyone calling it a scam or fraud, maybe chill out a bit.HSBC4 yearsClaims to be from HSBC but its definitely a con.HSBC4 yearsReally polite bloke, if I wasn’t aware of scams I might’ve fallen for it. Said he was from NatWest, but I told him I don’t have any accounts there. Then he claimed they worked closely with NatWest, but it was actually a call from HSBC. I don’t have accounts with them either. He said there were a couple of suspicious transactions on 'my accounts' and wanted to check the account number. I said I’d hang up and ring my bank myself. That’s when he got rude, told me to go **** myself and just cut the call.NatWestHSBC4 yearsThis number is fake. The scammer pretends to be from HSBC and asks you to verify the number on your bank card. They then tell you to move your funds to a “safe” account and say they’ll ring you back after the transfer. But don’t trust them - they won’t call again and end up nicking your cash.HSBC4 yearsSaid they were calling from HSBC, but it was a complete scam.HSBC4 yearsIt was definitely a con. They said they were calling from HSBC but it felt so fake.HSBC4 yearsSomeone pretending to be from HSBC called me and asked for the digits in my postcode, sounded pretty legit. Then they told me my cards had been used in Halfords with charges over £1000. I cut the call straight away and rang HSBC myself who said it was definitely a scam. Watch out for this one!HSBCHalfords4 yearsI'm almost certain this number is linked to scammers claiming to be from HSBC, like what happened to me. Definitely didn't seem legit at all.HSBC4 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from HSBC fraud dept, so I phoned the bank back and they said they never made that call.HSBC5 yearsSaid he was from Nationwide but couldn’t even say my name properly. Sounded real dodgy, so I just told him to jog on. Total scammer.Nationwide5 yearsSCAM ALERT! Received a call from someone pretending to be the HSBC Fraud department. The number showed up as the same one on my debit card - turns out this was just 'spoofed' to look legit. They somehow knew my mum’s maiden name and mentioned some suspicious emails I had been sent recently. Then they urged me to shift money from my account into another account supposedly opened in my name. DON'T MOVE YOUR CASH. When I attempted to ring the official HSBC fraud number from a different phone, the caller overheard and tried to make me hang up, complaining I was blocking the line. Stay alert!HSBC5 yearsTotal con artist!5 yearsI dunno, I didn't pick up. I ain't got any accounts with HSBC so this has gotta be a dodgy call if they say they're from HSBC. Probably one of those spoofing things where they fake the number so it looks like it’s coming from HSBC, but really they’re calling from somewhere else far away.HSBC5 years**WARNING** **SCAM ALERT** This number called me loads of times. They already had some personal info about me. I almost sent money because they sounded really urgent and the call showed up as from HSBC - I didn’t think it was fake. They asked me to confirm my account balance and recent transactions, seemed legit. I hesitated and checked my HSBC app, realising HSBC would never ask you to transfer money. So glad I didn’t fall for it!HSBC5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be HSBC, sounded pretty legit at first. They had my name and even my account number right, said there was an attempt to change my address and phone details. I got a bit wary though after checking some reviews on here and seeing loads of scam reports. Then they started asking me security questions - that’s when I said I’d ring HSBC myself and hung up. They tried to keep me on the line, pushing for info, but luckily I didn’t give anything away. Called HSBC and they confirmed it was a scam all along.HSBC5 yearsThis number kept phoning my daughter loads today. The bloke sounded really believable. They tried to get her to transfer money from her savings to her main account and then onto a different one. She fell for a phishing message that looked like it was from the Post Office asking for a tiny £2 fee to resend a parcel, and sadly she responded to it.Post Office5 yearsThey rang me about 9 times, so I got in touch with HSBC myself and they said they never called me. Watch out, this is definitely a scam!HSBC5 yearsGot a call claiming to be from HSBC about odd activity on my account, sounded pretty legit but they wanted me to log into my online banking to check security stuff.HSBC5 yearsGot a call claiming to be from HSBC warning me about some dodgy activity on my account. Seemed proper legit and they kept telling me to log into my online banking to check my security details.HSBC5 yearsDefinitely a scam.5 yearsSCAM ALERT! THIS IS NOT THE REAL HSBC FRAUD SUPPORT NUMBER. THEY'LL TRY TO GET YOU TO GIVE YOUR ONLINE LOGIN INFO. HSBC WOULD NEVER REQUEST THAT. JUST END THE CALL. GENUINE HSBC CALLS COME FROM THEIR VERIFIED HSBC NUMBERS, NOT 0800 ONES.HSBC5 yearsBE WARNED. Check out posts from 21/07/21 and 02/05/21 - they clear everything up. This number really belongs to HSBC but it might be spoofed by scammers. Don’t trust whoever calls from it straight away, but don’t just block or ignore it either. The best move is to ring your bank directly using the number on the back of your card.HSBC5 yearsWATCH OUT!!! I’m no fool but at first I thought this was a real call from HSBC. I got really angry and shouted at the caller, and of course he started shouting back. PLEASE DON’T ENGAGE WITH THESE HORRIBLE, WORTHLESS SCAMMERS!HSBC5 yearsGot tricked by these frauds claiming to be from my bank. Ended up losing all my savings.5 yearsThis is a legit HSBC phone number. Check out the banner right above the hotspot map. Also, have a look at the post from 02/05/21. It goes through what steps to take if you get a call saying it’s from your bank.HSBC5 yearsWatch out for this number, it's a nasty scam. They kept saying there were dodgy transactions on my account. When I told them I’ve never used HSBC, they called me a W******r and just hung up. I called back, and a posh sounding lady said “Hello HSBC.” Total scam, and really rude too.HSBC5 yearsScam alert!!!!! Just a heads up, even tho the info at the top says this is an HSBC number, it’s definitely not. Watch out!HSBC5 yearsSomebody called claiming they was from HSBC but I’m not sure if it was legit.HSBC5 yearsGot a call from someone saying HSBC suspected fraud on my account. They asked me to give them my full card number, expiry date, and the three digits on the back of my debit card.HSBC5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from HSBC's fraud team. They spent about an hour trying to get me to change my card, saying there were suspicious transactions on my account. It was a really clever scam and I almost got taken in! They sounded proper convincing. If you get a call like this, don’t trust it - hang up and call HSBC yourself straight away. When I did that, I quickly found out it was all fake. They’d even faked the HSBC phone number to make it seem legit.HSBC5 yearsThis isn't really HSBC, it's a scam. They tell you to search the number on Google to check it's HSBC. But only this site links it to HSBC, so I guess the scammers are posting fake comments claiming it's HSBC to make their scam look real.HSBCGoogle5 yearsA bloke called me once and a lady rang me twice, all asking if I suspected any fraud on my bank account. They wanted to know if I held an HSBC account but hung up straight away when I asked them which address they had on file.HSBC5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from HSBC's fraud dept, saying there was some dodgy activity on my account and asking for my banking details. Definitely sounded like a scam.HSBC5 yearsGot a call claiming to be from HSBC, they already had my account and phone details. Really worrying stuff.HSBC5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Michael Stevens from HSBC security. Said he needed to verify some transactions on my business account. This phone number is definitely spoofed or hacked - don’t answer or engage with them!HSBCMichael Stevens5 yearsThe number shows up on HSBC's site, but I've had a scam attempt before and reckon this is just more fraudsters. Usually, the bank sends me an email straight away if it's something important.HSBC5 yearsGot a call from Barclays fraud team.5 yearsComplet ripoff, dont fall for it!5 yearsThis was definitely dodgy, sounded like they had way too much info about me. Total rip off!5 yearsScammer alert!!! Watch out!!!5 yearsGot a call from some bloke named Nathanial sayin he was from HSBC’s fraud squad. When I questioned him, he ended up insultin me with some proper rude words and then just cut off. Honestly, it was pretty funny. Definitely not a real HSBC number - if they ring you, just ignore or have a bit of fun with ’em.NathanialHSBC5 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be from HSBC, saying they noticed strange activity in my bank account.HSBC5 yearsWatch out! This number pretends to be from HSBC, saying they're from the fraud department. It's definitely a scam.HSBC5 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be from HSBC, telling me it was urgent and needed sorting right away. The bloke said his name was Jacob Simmons, but when I asked him his name and where he was calling from, it just sounded like a recorded message. He was pretty pushy, asking me for a family member’s number to get in touch with. I told him not to call back and hung up, then blocked the number straight away!Jacob SimmonsHSBC5 yearsWATCH OUT!! It doesn’t really matter if the number is actually from HSBC or not. Scammers have faked every phone number from all banks now, so always treat any call like it’s a con. If your bank rings you, listen carefully to what they say but don’t give out any info or do anything right away. Hang up, check your line is clear, then ring your bank back using the number on the back of your card. Don’t leave it too long though, sometimes the call might be genuine, and there could be an issue with your account that needs sorting, but you’ll only be sure if YOU ring the bank yourself.BE AWAREHSBC5 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be HSBC. Be careful and dont share any of your info with them.HSBC5 yearsI reckon this number might look like HSBC, but if it rings you, it’s probably a con. A few weeks back, I got a call from a young person claiming to be HSBC, saying there was suspicious activity on my account. I told them I was busy and asked if they could call back in 30 minutes. After that, I rang HSBC myself and they confirmed no one from their side had called me. Just five minutes ago, this same number called again, so I didn’t pick up and just blocked it straight away...HSBC6 yearsGot a call from HSBC about a £989 payment supposedly made to Amazon. Sounded legit at first but then they started asking for personal info which was a dead giveaway. Told them I'd ring HSBC myself and hung up. They called back about 5 times, using a spoofed number just like others mentioned here. Just ended the call each time.HSBCAmazon6 yearsThis was definitely a scam call. They said they were from HSBC and wanted to check some transactions. I said I wasn’t comfortable talking and that I’d ring the number on the back of my card. They were quite rude and just ended the call.HSBC6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they were from HSBC, asking me to confirm some transactions. I said I wasn’t comfortable and would ring the number on my card instead. They were really abrupt and just ended the call. Definitely sounded like a scam.HSBC6 yearsThey tried acting like HSBC but it was a total scam. Definitely a fake, don't trust em!HSBC6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be HSBC, but something felt off. They started asking for personal details right away, which made me suspicious. Definitely not the real bank reaching out like that. Think it’s just a scammer pretending to be them. Watch out if you get a call like that!HSBC6 yearsThis definitely isnt HSBC, so watch out carefully!HSBC6 yearsThey claimed to have stopped a payment to Virgin Airlines and told me they arranged a direct debit for Vodafone. Then they asked for my bank details to "confirm" who I was. Thats when I hung up. Banks would never ask for your account info on the phone like that.Virgin AirlinesDirect DebitVodafone6 yearsthis defo aint HSBCHSBC6 yearsThis number claimed to be from the HSBC fraud department, but when they told me to create a secure code using my online banking app, I knew it was a scam. They asked stuff that HSBC would never ask. They even faked the HSBC number, so watch out.HSBC6 yearsJust got a call from someone pretendin to be HSBC Fraud Team. They told me someone had spent £599 on Amazon using my card. The bloke kept me on the phone for a bit, then asked me to log into my account to check for any other weird transactions. I just ended the call then and there. Total scam, watch out!!HSBC Fraud TeamAmazon6 yearsGot a text saying my HSBC account had a new payee added, with a link to approve or reject it. Obviously a scam trying to get you to log in and steal info. Don’t click on any links like that! They also said someone from fraud would call me within a day, using this same number. I’ve gone and blocked it already.HSBC Bank6 yearsGot a call from 08000862401, some bloke saying his name was Mark Willis from HSBC. He was talkin’ about a big transaction on my account and said he needed to reactivate my secure key. Total scam, don’t share your info with them!Mark WillisHSBC6 yearsTotal con job, watch out!6 yearsHeads up, even if the number looks like the one on your card, scammers can fake it to seem legit. If you get a call from your bank, it's best to hang up, give it like 30 seconds to fully cut off, then ring the official number you find on the bank’s real website.6 yearsSomeone called me from this number pretending to be from HSBC, but it was definitely a scam!HSBC6 yearsI think I just fell for a scam. They claimed to be from HSBC and said they were stopping some dodgy transactions from my account. All I had to do was give them a code they supposedly sent me by text to approve the cancellation.HSBC6 yearsWhat a bunch of losers!6 yearsGot a call from this number claiming to be from hsbc fraud dept, saying someone put a direct debit in for mother care. When i questioned them, they just ended the call straight away!HSBCMothercare6 yearsSomeone called claiming to be from the HSBC fraud team, said there were 12 tries to take money from my account and they’d stopped it. They asked me to check my login device for a security code, but I told them my device was at home and I was out. They kept pushing me to get the device, but I said I’d wait till later or visit a branch tomorrow. Then they just hung up - definitely a scam call.HSBC6 yearsSome bloke rang me from this number, claiming he was from HSBC’s fraud team. He said there had been attempts to use my card for thousands of pounds, but they’d stopped it. He then asked if I’d used the card on any new websites, and if I still had it with me. After that, he asked for info that’s part of the login process for online banking. When he asked me for the login code, I got really suspicious and ended the call, saying I’d ring the bank myself. I then called HSBC and they confirmed they hadn’t phoned me at all, so they froze my card and online account right away.HSBC6 yearsSomeone rang and asked me to say my login details out loud, kept ringing me again and even had the right number from my card. I phoned the bank’s fraud team and they said they never made any calls to me.6 yearsA smooth-talking bloke said he was from HSBC’s fraud division, saying a payment I made recently - completely above board - had gone through ten times! I got proper worried and we talked about how to freeze my account and sort things out. He asked me to log in, and we chatted about where my online code generator was, but I was driving, so I told him I’d visit the bank in the morning. Then he just hung up. It hit me afterwards that it was a con. Dunno how he even knew about the real payment.HSBC6 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be from HSBC saying my card was used at John Lewis and they'd taken £250. He said he'd send me a verification code. I told him I'd call HSBC back on a different phone as I was already on a call. Then my phone rang like six times straight away. Definitely a scam. Don’t give out any details or go along with it.HSBCJohn Lewis6 yearsGot a call from a number pretending to be HSBC - bloke was going on about some dodgy activity on my account or whatever. When I asked for evidence, he just flipped out and started swearing loads :) proper muppet!HSBC6 yearsThis number pretends to be HSBC but it ain't. Some bloke called Nigel Tete claimed someone got a loan using my details and sent money from it to my mates. He told me to tell them to send the cash back to some random account. Proper dodgy stuff. Banks never ask you to do that, and they'd sort the payment themselves. Rang the bank on their official number and they said it’s a scam for sure.HSBCNigel Tete6 yearsI've noticed this number comes from HSBC. It's a legit contact they use for various questions. If this number rings you, there's no need to panic. Just make sure to do a quick check by asking something only an HSBC staff member would know.HSBC7 yearsCheers for the heads up. Lately, loads of people are gettin calls pretending to be from Amazon, sayin they wanna renew your Prime or telling you your account’s gonna be closed. They’ll likely ring from another number next time, so blocking might not do much good.AmazonPrime7 yearsGot a call from a female American voice saying I had to renew my Amazon Prime yearly fee. She told me if I had any problems or wanted to dispute it, press 1 to talk to a "Prime adviser." Since I dont even have a Prime account, it’s clearly a scam. I just blocked the number straight away.7 yearsI rang this number and it connected me to an Indian call centre. Actually, it was the same guy each time I called, about three times. He said he was from British Airways. Long story short, he asked for the credit card I used to book, and then wanted another card number, which I didn’t hand over. Luckily, I gave him a fake card number at first since it felt suspicious and I wanted to see what would happen. Found this number online trying to contact BA. Seriously, steer clear of it!IndiaBritish AirwaysBA. Steer7 yearsOops, looks like I checked the wrong number earlier. This one’s actually legit - HSBC.
