Folks receiving these crap calls (they want to sell the card holder something, typically credit insurance) may like to also read at this link as well: http://www.whocalled.us/lookup/5712836424 and vice-versa. You may want to call HSBC's HQs at 1-847-564-5000 and ask to speak with Michael Haynes or perhaps with Ilene Butorac on ext.5623 to get your number removed from further solicitations. Michael is some sort of an Executive with this crap outfit and I suspect the same of Ilene.
Another Caller ID number this crap outfit uses is: 616-597-4101. But besides pursuing things like your State's Attorney General's office in order to register formal complaints (this has nothing to do with the do-not-call-registry, this has to do with requesting they stop calling and then if they continue 3 more time you have their butts cold)I highly recommend that you get yourself a freebie account with GrandCentral.com (A Google owned company) and use the phone number they will supply to you (in your own area code) on ALL consumer business related transactions (credit cards, utilities, cable companies, etc, etc ... basically anyone except friends and relatives who you really want to hear from. Put your new GrandCentral.com number on a personal/business card if you can't recall it ... and give that number out first in order to defeat these crap companies who share your regular number with 3rd parties at their whim, OR who have been known to lose or otherwise mishandle your personal data.
Some guy called asking for my g/f by name. I asked politely, "who may I say is calling?" and this guy got very rude. He said "THIS IS HSBC AND I WANT TO TALK TO THE CARDHOLDER!". Needless to say, I grew up with some biker types and I called him a punk a** bi*ch, an m-fer and told him don't talk to me that way. He hung up. I called the number back (listed as wireless caller) and it went to "ICT on behalf of HSBC". My woman just got an HSBC card and I am sure they were selling credit insurance.
Just received a call a few hours ago from the number 571-283-6424. Wife didn't answer, they left no message. If these are telemarketers, we are on th DO NOT CALL list, and I'm going to report them.
Maybe I ought to ask them if they have smelly armpits. "Oh, duz u got smelly arm pits? Me Luv smelly arm pits... if ya ain't got smelly armpits, I ain't going to deal with ya...."
Same thing - calls over several days answered by our fax. I answered today - asked for my wife by name and would not leave a msg. I told him she would not be here ever!
