08456081878 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08456081878 👆 is reported as a genuine HSBC fraud prevention number used to contact customers about suspicious transactions. Many recipients confirm its authenticity after independently verifying through official HSBC contact details. The calls often come from agents with Indian accents who ask security questions, though some find the communication unprofessional or hard to understand. It’s strongly advised not to provide sensitive information directly upon unsolicited calls; instead, verify by calling HSBC via numbers on official correspondence or their website. Some users report mixed experiences, including unclear voicemails or suspicious behaviour, so caution and independent confirmation are essential. Overall, while this line aims to protect customers from fraud, HSBC could improve clarity and professionalism in delivery to maintain customer confidence.

What a right bother! They tried calling me twice, and I didn't pick up either time. On the first ring, they left a rather dodgy voicemail insisting I get in touch with "Fraud." Then, after the second call which I also ignored, I received a text message urging me to call them about an alleged payment of £15,432.66. I'm certain a legitimate bank wouldn't operate like this. They claimed to be from HSBC, yet that’s not even my bank! Just a heads-up to everyone... stay vigilant!

I received a message purporting to be from HSBC, instructing me to return the call and quote a specific reference number. So, I rang back, only to be met with a chorus of laughter. It took a while before someone actually engaged in conversation. I conveyed my dissatisfaction with their level of professionalism, to which I was met with an apology. Yet, the laughter persisted, leading me to voice my concerns about their standards once more. At that point, they requested my sort code and account number. I made it clear I was unwilling to divulge such sensitive information to someone whose identity was unknown to me, especially given their clearly unprofessional conduct. I decided enough was enough and promptly ended the call.

I called what seemed like a legit 1st Direct/HSBC fraud line, but they still started asking me for my security details. Isn’t that a bit dodgy since they themselves say you shouldn’t share such info with strange numbers? Best thing is to phone the bank on a number you know for certain is real before handing over any personal stuff.

i got a call from the hsbc anti-fraud group, apparently ringing from india. i didn’t pick up and just let it go to voicemail. earlier that day, i’d sent two payments to a mate - a small one first just to check the account info, then a bigger amount. which explains why anti-fraud got involved. i thought it best to ring the usual hsbc uk phone banking line myself, and they did confirm the transaction had been flagged. so yeah, the number was legit hsbc, but i’d suggest always double-checking with the official uk banking number to be on the safe side.

I received a call that was strikingly similar. I must admit, when a woman rings me up regarding my online banking, my instincts kick in and I become rather wary. My account is with First Direct, which sits under the HSBC umbrella. I decided to reach out to them directly, and they reassured me that the call was indeed legitimate, related to a transaction I had initiated previously. While I appreciate HSBC’s diligence, I can't help but think that having someone with a foreign accent requesting sensitive information isn't the best approach. A simple message or email prompting me to reach out to my bank about a payment would certainly be a more reassuring method.

I received a call from a woman with an Indian accent on this number. It was quite challenging to grasp what she was attempting to convey, and she began firing off security questions that I opted not to respond to. Subsequently, she suggested I reach out to First Direct using my regular contact number, which I did about an hour later. They verified that it was indeed a legitimate inquiry regarding a transaction on my account, so it appears the initial caller was authentic after all.

So, I got a message from HSBC about checking a payment I did, sounded like a fraud check or something. I didn’t ring back the number that was on the text cause it looked dodgy, but I called the usual HSBC number I’ve used before. Turned out it was actually the fraud department. They never asked me for any bank info during the call, so seemed legit.

Received another call from the same HSBC branch over in India, this time they wanted to verify some online activity. The representative provided a clearer explanation and it turned out to be a legitimate inquiry regarding a specific amount in my account. What puzzles me is why the HSBC team here in the UK seemed completely unaware of this situation. It’s a bit concerning that a major bank isn't synchronised within its own operations. They really ought to sort themselves out. Quite a troubling situation when a banking giant isn't fully in the loop, if you ask me. Cheers, Bry.

Received a call from this number, where the caller requested I verify some online activity related to my bank. I wasn't comfortable sharing any details, and she simply responded that she'd send a text for me to reach out to them. However, I never got any message. A quick search revealed it was supposedly from HSBC, but after contacting their fraud hotline, they assured me that no one from their team had attempted to reach me. Clearly, it was a scam! Now I'm left questioning the safety measures at HSBC. This whole experience hasn't sat well with me, and I'm seriously contemplating switching banks. Cheers, Bry.

Given that I spent a good twenty minutes on the line this morning while calling from overseas, navigating through sort codes, account numbers, pressing 1 for this and 2 for that, and all sorts of other options, before eventually managing to chat with an actual person... I received a call later from their fraud prevention team, requesting my date of birth and complete address... 'just to confirm,' which leaves me pondering whether their online banking security is truly as robust as it ought to be. Perhaps the safest way to manage your finances would be to take all your money out and hide it beneath your mattress(es)! To add to my frustration, I recently got a letter saying that my nearest UK branch will be shutting down, so the ability to have a good old-fashioned chat with someone in person is disappearing as well. What a right mess these bankers have made of things. Wishing you all the best for the day ahead!

Regrettably, we find ourselves in a society where we must approach unfamiliar callers with a healthy dose of scepticism, especially if their voices carry a foreign twang. While I understand that HSBC is merely looking out for its clients with their vigilance regarding unconventional movements in accounts, one has to wonder if there's a more effective method for confirming identities.

I’m not one for picking up calls from anyone that’s withheld their number, so I gave this one a miss. Shortly after, I received a text purporting to be from HSBC, urging me to ring their Fraud department at 03452669337, with a specific reference to mention. Given I’d set up a rather peculiar transaction, I wasn’t taken aback by the bank’s inquiry. When I called, I ended up speaking to someone whose accent was a tad hard to decipher, but she was well-informed about the details of my payment, which put my mind at ease.

What a thoroughly atrocious experience! I was directed to a number to ring, but ended up being passed between four different departments - none of which I could actually comprehend. Eventually, they handed me a different number to try, only to keep me on hold for ten minutes and counting... as I'm jotting this down, I'm still in limbo awaiting an answer. Absolutely appalling service... I'm utterly appalled!

I received a call from what claimed to be the HSBC Fraud Department, but I chose not to engage until I had thoroughly investigated the number. I was rather wary and waited for a text or voicemail to confirm its legitimacy. Eventually, when I felt secure enough to make the call, the security questions they posed were absolutely baffling! I fully acknowledge HSBC’s need for caution, but it did make for quite a tense experience.

I found it quite odd that I was prompted to respond to five security questions. Unfortunately, my responses didn’t match up, which left the lady on the line, an Indian woman by the sound of it, unable to disclose any information regarding the unusual online transactions linked to my card. To make matters worse, she then inquired whether I had my card or my passport handy!

I recently received a call from this number, and I must say, it left me quite perturbed. The caller seemed to know my name and inquired whether I was aware of any "suspicious activity" on my account. Naturally, I was a bit taken aback and simply asked, "Like what?" At that point, she promptly hung up on me! It’s a bit shocking to find that this is indeed an official HSBC number, as the whole interaction felt distinctly off and rather scam-like. The lack of professionalism, no verification questions, and that abrupt disconnection have certainly made me rethink my banking options. I might just explore different banks going forward.

I received a rather articulate call from a lady, presumably of Indian heritage, who seemed to know my surname and was aware that I bank with HSBC - either that or she simply got lucky. She proceeded to pose some questions to me, but I made it clear that I wouldn’t divulge any banking information without first confirming her identity. When I inquired about how long I had been an HSBC customer, she couldn't provide that detail, so I felt it prudent to end the conversation and hung up. To my surprise, I later discovered that 08456 081878 is indeed associated with HSBC! Nevertheless, I maintain that I acted wisely by being cautious. It’s far better to withhold information from a legitimate caller than to inadvertently share it with a potential fraudster!

I suspect this was a scam. The call started off with an incredibly garbled voice of a foreign gentleman claiming there was a recorded message awaiting us. The call then shifted towards an urgent-sounding message supposedly from HSBC. I’d urge anyone receiving such calls not to respond but instead reach out to customer services directly through the phone directory or your online banking. We had our records checked, and there was absolutely no justification for receiving that call in the first place. Stay vigilant, everyone!

We gave HSBC a bell, and they confirmed that these calls are definitely not from them, plus there’s no flag against our account. So it's clear as day - it’s a scam!

We received a voicemail from this number where a man of Asian descent was delivering a rather robotic message. He claimed to have an automated notification for us, directing us to contact HSBC’s fraud prevention team at 08456 081878. I'm unsure if this is the real deal or just a ruse, but I've decided not to return the call. Frankly, it’s not our responsibility to track down our bank when these unsolicited calls come in. They ought to send us a written notice if there’s an issue instead of pestering us with cold calls.

I received a call today featuring the same tedious questions, and, rather foolishly, I shared my details with the Indian chap on the other end. It’s high time the bank pulled its socks up and alleviated the concerns of its customers. I phoned HSBC to confirm whether I had been duped, and they assured me it was indeed a legitimate number. But why on earth can’t we speak to an English operator? Is that deemed offensive these days? The reality is, virtually every scam call I’ve encountered has come from the Indian subcontinent, so why employ someone from there on an HSBC helpline? It simply doesn’t stack up and creates unnecessary anxiety. This approach could lead to a significant loss of trust among your customer base. I can’t shake off the unease and will likely fret about it all weekend. If this is a bona fide number, then a change in the accent of the caller would be a most welcome improvement. Best, Philip A.

I had a rather authentic experience recently. I received a call regarding our card being compromised while in Greece (and I'm based in the UK). After returning their call, everything was resolved, but I thought to myself that it could be a scam. So, I decided to ring HSBC's official number to double-check. Turns out, it was all above board.

I received a call from the same number earlier on today, so instead of dialling the number that was left on my voicemail, I decided to contact the official telephone banking line for verification. They transferred me to the fraud team, as they had attempted to reach me previously. The agent began by asking me the standard security questions and then informed me that my card had been compromised, but rest assured, they would be sending out a replacement. We went through my recent transactions together, all of which I could verify, and it appeared to be above board.

I got a call at 8.25 this morning from a lady with a thick Indian accent who had quite a struggle with her English. Thought I’d better look it up and it turns out this number is linked to HSBC’s fraudulent activities. I also rang HSBC to see if they had any record of this number and, surprisingly, nothing has been registered yet. They’ll be looking into it as part of their normal procedures!

I can confirm that this is indeed an authentic HSBC number; however, that doesn't guarantee that the call is genuinely from them. It's quite simple for the number displayed on 1471 or caller ID to be spoofed, and this happens quite frequently-often by reputable businesses for perfectly valid purposes. Just yesterday, we received a similar call, but when we contacted HSBC, they claimed they had no record of it at all.

This number appears to be legitimate, but I must say, the voicemail I got was rather hard to decipher. Just to double-check, I called the number listed on my card, and it turned out to be the fraud department of HSBC, as expected.

This isn't a legitimate number for HSBC at all! An Indian gentleman was impersonating someone from the bank, probing me for personal details like my date of birth and postcode. I subsequently rang the authentic HSBC number and spoke to a lovely Welsh woman, who assured me it had absolutely no connection to them. Please exercise caution!

I ended the call and reached out to HSBC directly using the number listed on their official site. The representative I spoke to assured me that the fraud team had indeed contacted me at an appropriate hour, and he proceeded to connect me with a woman who sounded very much like the one from the initial call. The transaction details she provided matched perfectly with my records. It's a bit peculiar to receive a call out of the blue like that, but everything appears to be on the up and up. Still, I’d recommend always returning calls to a verified number instead of divulging any personal details during an unsolicited call.

I received a call from the legitimate HSBC fraud team after I mistakenly entered an incorrect security pin online. They were just checking to confirm if I was the one making the transaction. For safety, they even went ahead and suspended my card temporarily and reset it right while we were chatting. Very reassuring service!

I received a call on a Sunday morning from a chap who seemed to have an Indian accent. He addressed me by name and straight away requested my postcode. I felt a sense of unease right off the bat and told him that I doubted his legitimacy as an HSBC representative. Without hesitation, I ended the call.

On a Saturday evening, I received a call from an Indian gentleman who was incredibly difficult to understand. He insisted on obtaining my full postcode and date of birth, but I politely declined to provide that information. This seemed to agitate him quite a bit; he claimed he would send me a letter and abruptly disconnected the call. This hardly seems like a proper approach to safeguarding against fraud! Earlier, I had a bit of a mishap with a Verified by Visa process due to the sheer volume of passwords I juggle; the struggle is real! While I truly appreciate their diligence, I draw the line at divulging personal details over the phone like that.

Absolutely the real deal! Just earlier today, my card was unexpectedly turned down, which baffled me as I had sufficient funds in my account. Shortly after, I received a call from them. They asked me a series of security questions, including my date of birth, account number, and sort code, to verify my identity. After that, they 'reactivated' my card for me.

I received a message from HSBC Bank and decided to return the call. I must admit, I was a bit on edge, so I opted to ring the main line I typically use to check my account balance instead. Once I got through, I requested to chat with one of their representatives, and they assured me that it was indeed HSBC reaching out.

Honestly, this call system is utterly ghastly - not something any reputable bank would ever employ (it purports to be HSBC!). The whole thing strikes me as utterly ridiculous, particularly in the context of something as serious as a fraud inquiry. I can't help but suspect that the comments claiming it's a genuine call might be from individuals with something to gain...

I can confirm that this is the real deal. They provided me with a wealth of information regarding my accounts and recent transactions. It all kicked off when a Verified by Visa prompt seized up on me, forcing me to cancel my payment attempt. Consequently, HSBC decided to freeze my card. However, after sorting things out with their fraud team, everything is back to normal now.

I had a call from this number, with the caller purporting to be from the fraud department. They requested my complete postcode, which set alarm bells ringing. As luck would have it, I work at an HSBC call centre, so I knew their security protocols rather well. I informed the chap that his inquiries didn’t align with the proper procedures they should be following-typically, they confirm the initial portion of the postcode before requiring the latter half. The gentleman, who had an Indian accent, attempted to persuade me that the process was indeed correct. I stood firm and expressed my scepticism about his association with HSBC. He then mentioned he would dispatch a letter, presumably to lend some legitimacy to his claims.

We’ve received two missed calls from this number, and it appears to be a foreign female voice followed by an automated message purportedly from "HSBC" regarding scam protection. Upon returning the call and sharing a considerable amount of our details, a gentleman informed us that our card information may have been compromised and advised us to cancel our card immediately. After taking that precaution, we had a nagging feeling we might have fallen for a scam, so we decided to contact HSBC’s customer service. They assured us that the call was indeed legitimate, giving us peace of mind and confirming there was no reason for concern.

Received a text earlier that left me rather suspicious, so I hightailed it out of there. It struck me as a bit dodgy, to be honest. After having a gander at some advice here, I took the plunge and gave HSBC a bell. We've lodged a complaint, hoping they'll sort out that message, as it's causing quite the mix-up. For such a major bank, I must say, this message comes across as shockingly unprofessional.

I received a call from what appeared to be the HSBC fraud prevention department. Interestingly, they didn't probe for my security question answers, but they did provide details regarding my recent transactions to establish their authenticity. Quite a unique approach, I must say!

I totally agree with what's been said previously; this number is legitimate. Earlier today, I received a voicemail on my mobile. However, I decided to call the HSBC helpline found on the reverse of my bank card, just to be on the safe side. They transferred me to their Fraud Team, who verified the call for me. Apparently, there was a transaction made from my card in Hong Kong, and they were just making sure it was actually me behind it.

Authentic experience here - when I received their call, I was a bit sceptical, so I decided to ring HSBC back using the number listed on their website.

To everyone who's feeling a bit anxious about this, I'd suggest simply dialing the number for HSBC that you can find on the back of your debit or credit card and requesting to be connected to them directly. Trust me, this number is indeed legitimate, regardless of how "rough around the edges" they might appear during the call!

I received a call from this number earlier today, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to answer it. Curious about who it was, I did a quick search online and stumbled upon this website. I then decided to contact HSBC directly using their official phone banking line. To my relief, they confirmed that the call had indeed originated from their Anti Fraud team and connected me with them for further assistance.

Initially, I was quite sceptical after hearing the voicemail, so I decided to ring the official HSBC number listed on their site, which is 08457404404. They assured me that it was a genuine call and promptly transferred me to the right department. It turned out that my debit card details had been compromised, and someone was attempting to make online transactions. Thankfully, they handled everything and offered me considerable assistance.

It's absolutely legitimate, just as others have noted. Taking the time to navigate the security inquiries is definitely worth it to uncover the reason behind the call. In my own experience, they flagged a transaction that looked dodgy, and they were spot on. They verified that all my other recent transactions were fine, helped me order a new card straight away, and advised me on how I could still access cash in the interim. If you're ever unsure, just ring the main HSBC helpline, and you'll find that it has the exact same automated voice response as this one.

This phone number truly belongs to the fraud division of HSBC. However, I wanted to be absolutely certain, so I rang up HSBC myself and they kindly connected me to their fraud team. You might want to try that too; it really helps to calm any worries you may have.

I received a phone call from this number with someone claiming to be from HSBC bank. The catch? I've never had any dealings with HSBC! It quickly became apparent that the individual on the line was attempting to con me, trying to reel in my personal information. As a police officer, I'd strongly recommend that if anyone contacts you claiming to investigate fraud, best course of action is to refuse to share any details and simply instruct them to cease any further engagement. Stay vigilant, folks!

I received a call today (25/11/2013) from this particular number, and they left a voicemail. It was a chap with an Indian accent who was speaking at an alarming speed, followed by a recorded announcement. He claimed to be from HSBC and urged me to ring back with a reference 'G.' Upon doing so, I found that the number was indeed legitimate - they raised some concerns regarding a rather hefty transaction I had made from my account the previous evening. They grilled me with a series of security questions to verify my identity, which left me feeling somewhat apprehensive, but interestingly, they didn't request any overly personal details. For instance, I was only asked for the month of my birth rather than the specific day, and they wanted the location of my branch, not my home address.

I've had an interesting experience with this number. I accidentally entered an incorrect PIN while at the cash machine, which subsequently raised a flag on my account. Just ten minutes later, my mobile rang, followed shortly by my home phone line, especially after I gave the caller a piece of my mind on my mobile! Concerned, I rang HSBC directly using the number on the back of my card. They put me through to their fraud prevention team, who assured me that this number is indeed legitimate and that they had attempted to reach out to me.
