He called our house the other day looking for my son and when i told him he was out of town, he did not offer to leave his name. So I came on the internet and googled his phone number and to my surprise. I want to how the phone companies let obviously fake companies get numbers. It must be about the $$$.
this number called me last night at 7:00pm (CST) and didn't leave a message. I called the number back and got a machine stating "Hi, you have reached the Hicky's."
Caller claimed he represented HSBC who takes care of one of my credit cards. Told him that I wasn't interested in either selling anything to me or anything else. He just hung up. Checked the # Called HSBC and was told that no one was calling from their org. So this seems to be some kind of scam. Now reported to HSBC bank.
Said they were calling from my husband's credit card and replied that is was not an automated call. I thought it was odd that HSBC would not talk to me - an authorized name on the same card - so I hung up. It just did not settle well with me, so I looked up the number via the Internet.

I've gotten two calls from this number to my cell phone. Since I didnt know who it was I simply said I "wasnt available" when the person asked for me. Is it really a scam? How can this person/company be reported?
