HSBC number spoofed by scammers, dont answer if in doubt, contact bank directly

Seems they were posing as HSBC, but it was a fraudulent scam aimed at hijacking online accounts. Don’t fall for it, mate.

The number that rang was 03456 008891, which isn’t HSBC’s official line despite what the caller ID suggested – clearly an attempted scam. They claimed my card had been fraudulently used twice in Liverpool for over £900, even rattled off my last four digits and address before asking for the full sort code and account number. The bloke introduced himself as Paul Hampton from HSBC; I refused and said I’d call the bank. HSBC confirmed no odd activity, so it was a fake, mate.
