HSBC FRAUD ALERT 2021

Описание: #HSBC #FRAUD #ALERT


Things HSBC might send you

If you've received a text message that looks like it may have come from HSBC, have a look here to see if it really did come from us. Criminals have become very sophisticated in enticing you to click on links or call phone numbers that belong to them. They pretend to be an organisation you trust, like your bank, utility company, internet provider or even the police or HMRC.
We won't contact you from a normal mobile number other than the examples below. You might receive other texts from us, depending on your marketing preferences. If in doubt, don't respond - call us on the normal number on the back of your card.

Things a fraudster might send you

Here are some typical fraudster messages. If you receive something like this, please delete the message and do not respond.


#Scammers be #scamming. Never click on links sent to you.

Scammers often send fake text messages that look like they’ve come from your bank, or another trusted organisation. Their goal is to get you to reply with your personal or financial information.

Typically, they’ll:

encourage you to take urgent action

ask you to verify new payees, transactions or devices

try to look genuine by copying text messages sent by an organisation and adding their own wording

 
If you've received an SMS, you believe is suspicious:

don’t click on any links or download attachments

don’t reply

delete the message

contact us using the number on the back of your card
