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.
HSBC Holdings was established in 1991 and is the parent company of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. They have several offices in the U.S. Area code 571 is in Virginia. When they call, just hang up. If they call repeatedly turn them into your State's Attorney General's Office.
Got a call from a woman asking for my wife by name, when I asked to take a message a guy broke in and said there is no message and we will call back later, and then quickly hung up.
I'm receiving numerous calls from HSBC over the past couple of weeks. Really annoying!! If I do not answer, they do not leave a message. If I actually DO answer, I say "hello" four or five times and then the line goes dead. What is up with this?? There's no reason we should be receiving collection calls from this company. They must be trying to sell something. Other numbers they've called from include:
we have been getting these call too, we asked HSBC to remove us from the list..they said sure and yet we still get calls all the time!
I am so sick of it, maybe if they didnt call people so many times when they dont want to be they could save some money and lower the fees/rates!
(not holding my breath though!)
