Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Scammers are sending the fraudulent HSBC text message below asking potential victims to call them at this fake HSBC customer support telephone number: 0330 220 4419. The fraudulent text message claims a payment of £850 was made from their accounts and if it wasn't them, they should call 0330-220-4419. But calling the same telephone number will connect potential victims to the scammers behind the fraudulent text.
HSBCUKPASCD payment of £850 if this wasn't you call 0330 220 4419
If contacted, the scammers will pretend to be from HSBC and attempt to trick their potential victims into disclosing their account credentials, personal and financial information, which they will use fraudulently. Therefore, if you were tricked by the fraudulent text scam, please contact HSBC at their legitimate customer support telephone number for help.

Same here. Received today.
I 141’ed myself and called back for a giggle.Asked for my account number, sort code, and date of birth. All sounded very convincing.I’ve made up everything obviously, and now I’m on hold to speak with an “agent”. Been on hold 10 minutes. Clearly if this was a fraud, someone would have answered.They’re also using the HSBC hold music on loop, but not interrupting every 70 seconds to tell me to keep holding.
I be got the same message today.
