01179296918 HSBC Scam Text and Letter from Business Review Centre

Can I just say I also after reading these comments thought it was a scam so rang the bank and asked. The lady could not find any info about the letter / cheque I had been sent but once I have her the account number it relates to she confirmed it was not a scam and is genuine

I have just received a letter today with a cheque attached to it. No communication beforehand whatsoever. The cheque looks very different to other cheques I have received in the past. Will take it to my bank next week and ask them if it is genuine.

Further to my earlier posts, today had a payment of £50 into my Account of £50 entitled ‘REDRESS PAYMENT’.

Timescale involved fits perfectly with the original letter sent to me. Hardly earth shattering amount but still nice to receive!

I received a letter but to a previous address. I called the number on the letter after being suspicious of the website. I couldn’t complete over the phone so I called HSBC directly on their 0345 number and she brought up my details ( I am no longer a customer of HSBC) but she reassured me the letter is genuine and I have completed the online form.

People are right to be suspicious but if you’re ever unsure always call the company directly before completing anything.

Look forward to receiving the refund

It's genuine. I work in IT and can confirm the link in the letter goes to a page on the actual HSBC website, which is signed, secured and verified. The letter went to an old address of mine and was redirected to my current address. The third-party site is a very well known method of digital signing documents. Don't panic!

Rubbish, total scam!
