Rec'd. a text message saying to" contact Fifth Third Bank at this phone number. Your immediate attention is requested. Call now". Don't have an account at that bank. This is obviously a scam.

How can we stop these texts?? Both my daughter and I get these texts constantly. The numbers are always different.

All of your input have been helpful to me.  Thank you.

FYI - I just received a second unwanted text from an "[unverified sender]."  Respectively they read like the following:                                
 
    [917-953-8735]  H.S.B.C. Notice. Please call 414 494 2854
    [917-765-6179]  HSBC Notice.  Please call 320-286-8568          

Note*  I do not have an account w/ this bank.

[9171635634]  H.S.B.C Notice. Please call 415 494 2854


Got 2 in a row and I don't even have an hsbc account

Everyone - we are the legal owners of the number mentioned in the text.
Our phone service was handled by Vitelity http://www.vitelity.com/ but through them, our servers got hacked and someone is sending out this scam.

We're not getting any response or resolution from Vitelity so please be aware of this company.

We apologize about this  - please keep reporting on these texts.
We have also filed a police report and will probably have to cancel our phone number because of all this.

Text message to phone.  All accounts closed. Reporting to FBI for wire fraud and States attorney general.

Yesterday at 8:23 pm txt message

H.S.B.C Notice Please call 4154942854
from 917-235-7174

Received a text message April 27, 2012 from 917-527-5624.  It said: "H.S.B.C Notice.  Please calll 415 494 2854"  I do not plan on calling.  Thank you to all who have posted on this and all the other scams from unknown phone numbers.  (I also ignore any calls that identify the caller as "Unavailable" or "Restricted".)

Everyone!!

I am the legal owner of the number 415 494-2854.
On Tuesday the 24th of April, our phone server was hacked and our phone numbers moved to a pre-recoreded answer machine asking for people's cc info.
It took us a few hours to realize this had happen.
We have since filed a police report to try to resolve it.

Please - do not call the numbers or leave your CC numbers to anyone who can not identify themselves.

Thanks!!!

Yet more spam to the cell phone. This one in the form of 3 texts"from" HSBC. The past 3 -4 months have been nothing but spam to the cell. Time to shut it off.

They are scammers!

I just got one too so obviously they are still running the scam!

I just got a text message. So glad I didn't have a good enough signal for the call to connect. So annoying!

Just got this message too. RIDICULOUS. Did not call. Sounds like a scam!!! I have a 315 area code and have had this cell number for 8 years.

Ditto, I wont be calling but this is crap we have to put up with this. Since I don't give my number to anyone I'd love to know how my number got sold!

I also received same message glad i checked did not call all skam  thay said hsbc also do not call. they can track your numbers i think i calle my cell phone company they said the longer  you have youyr number is you get messages like this.

Got text messages to at least two of our 4 cell phones allegedly from HSBC asking us to call 415 494 2854.

DON'T DO IT! This is some type of coordinated scam. Delete the messages(s) to be safe & do not reply.

i got the same message as alisa .......

I have also received this message and I do no banking with H.S.B.C. I want to know how to report this as a scam. Perhaps I should call H.S.B.C. and file a complaint with them. Any help would be appreciated.

I received unwanted text from this

I just got this text also, glad i checked

Got same call... and the same message the day before but with another number. When I called back that first number (310-362-7388), there was an automated message asking me for my HSBC mastercard credit card number and expiration date... not thinking I punched it in, but realized this might be a SCAM when they asked for my pin ..... I don't even have a pin for this card.

I called HSBC to report both of these messages, I suggest you do the same .

They are sending me a new card.

My area code: (718)    Carrier: Verizon
Received the following test message on 4/24/2012. The following is verbatim:
