HSBC customers are to beware of fake texts that claim a "New Payee" was set up on their accounts. The fake texts are being sent by online scammers and NOT by HSBC. The fake texts claim that recipients should click the link in it if they did not initiate the "New Payee" set up. But, the link goes to a fake HSBC website that steal account credentials, personal and financial information.

    Just received one of these, from 44 7950 620426, stating that a new payee request to Mr R Thorn has been made through my HSBC mobile banking app that I DO NOT HAVE. The fraud / scam website it wants me to vistit is https:

    online-alerts.com/hsbc

    Putting this here in the hope that search engines will find this number, web address and the word scam together and index for others.

    They will want you to put in your password so they can steal from you. DO NOT VISIT
