Call from "HSBC"

[johnny02004976]

i had a missed call from a guy called 'Soloman' from HSBC before, he said that he has a recorded message for me, then this music plays...thats as far as i listened before i hung up.

Any1 else had this sort of call??

Cheers

Unless HSBC turned into a phone operator over night, why the heck would he have a recorded message for you?
If it’s real and important, they will send you a letter, don’t worry.

I smell a scam.

When HSBC have phoned me it was always a real guy straight off. no recorded messages etc. Like others have said, just wait for the letter or a real call.

1/ they would write to me
2/ they would keep calling me

ask him if he has a matayogi, when he says whats a matayogi, just say, nothin boo boo, and hang up.

Am I the only one confused by that statement?

Well it is random but it's a joke based on the Yogi Bear show:

First Person: Do you have a matayogi?
Second: What's a matayogi?
First: Nothing Boo Boo.

Hope this helps.

Even messages from your real bank can be bad
I got a call once from NatWest - Something like this....
<my phone rings)
Me "Hello"
Them "Good afternoon, this is NatWest bank - could you please confirm your date of birth?"
Me "No"
Them "We need your date of birth to confirm who you are"
Me "What's this about?"
Them "I can't tell you that until you confirm your date of birth"
Me "You called me - I don't have to confirm anything"
"But I need to know I'm talking to the right person..."
Me "So what's my password?"
Them "I can't tell you that"
Me "So you call me, and I have to prove I'm legitimate...?"
Them "Yes..." <sounds a bit worried now...>
Me "**** off and die you scammer"
It was actually a real NatWest call, but it helps when you point out that their "security" is backwards - on a Plus note, I don't get hit with NatWest offers any more
