This is a legitimate HSBC number, but it's essential to verify its authenticity through Google or the official HSBC website, ensuring the correct URL and security protocol
Scam alert: Fake HSBC security calls explained - +44 345 266 9337 (0345 266 9337)
Summary — +443452669337
Expert Opinion
It’s odd how often a single number can be both genuine and a phishing front. The +44 345 266 9337 line appears to be used by HSBC’s official fraud team for transaction checks, but the same digits are regularly spoofed by scammers posing as bank agents. Callers may demand personal details or threaten account blockage – legitimate HSBC staff never ask for full passwords or PINs over the phone. When you receive an unexpected call, pause, note the caller ID and hang up before replying. Then dial the official number printed on your card or on the bank’s website to verify. Keep a log of any texts and avoid sharing any information until you’re certain of the source.

HSBC antiscam check, prior relese fonds
There's no cause for concern; this number belongs to HSBC.
The caller claimed to be from HSBC fraud department, but after I phoned them back and spoke to someone with a Indian accent, he hung up on me, I then reported it to the official HSBC helpline
The problem with this number is that it claims to be from First Direct, but the caller's use of a non-First Direct number and strong Indian accent raises suspicions, as First Direct does not operate call centres in India.
Following a call from this number, I contacted First Direct to verify its authenticity, and they confirmed it was not associated with their company, indicating fraudulent activity.

This is a scam! When you call back, an automated message asks for your bank details.
I checked with HSBC, its a legit number
HSBC
A text was received regarding a EUR 10,000 transfer, requesting a call back; however, the provided number was non-functional, and an alternative number offered led to a scammer, highlighting the importance of using the official number on the back of your card.
This is a legitimate HSBC call. I verified it by calling back using the number on my card.
Despite the voicemail message sounding like a scam, this number is actualy used by the HSBC and First Direct fraud department, I rang First Direct to verify and they had declined a payment I requested due to suspision of fraud.

User warns its bad experiance
This number called, claiming to be from First Direct's HSBC Fraud Department. I rang back, curious if it might genuinely be First Direct, but like others, I was displeased when the person on the other end asked for details without providing any proof of authenticity. I ended the call and contacted First Direct through their official number, and they confirmed it was a legitimate fraud check. I feel much more at ease handling this through the proper FD channel rather than responding to this number, and I'd advise others to do the same to avoid potential scams.

Scam
There was an attempt to obtain my security information, suggesting that phone numbers from First Direct and another source had been compromised
Received a call on my mobile but didn't answer. They left a message saying it's not marketing and it's important to talk. They didn't mention HSBC or use my name. I checked with HSBC using the number on my card, and they confirmed it's a scam. Genuine calls from them have a reference number, which this one didn't.
Following my previous report, in which I incorrectly identified this number as a scam, I discovered that it actually belongs to FIRST DIRECT, a subsidiary of the HSBC group, with which I have accounts; the recorded message, although suspicious, was legitimate, and a call to them resolved the issue of a delayed payment

Harassment Call
A voicemail was left, mentioning my name but the message was unclear and seemed suspicious. Planning to block the number.
This is undoubtedly a scam, as they claimed AutoTrader would be taking £2000 from my account, and they ended the call when I refused to cooperate
