I have a text message asking me to contact HSBC about a new payee on my account. We do not have any HSBC accounts so I assume this is a scam. Anyone else had this?

I had a similar one recently from Santander, we don’t have an account there either.

My son alerted me to this earlier today. It’s yet another scam.

Yep, I got it yesterday and I don't have an HSBC account either!

Did you know that there is a very new category for scams?

Yes I’ve had that one quite a few times. I don’t have an account with HSBC either.
