Another scam ?

Had a couple of phone calls one today and one a couple of weeks ago asking to speak to the "New Owner" not sure what they want or expect as they have both put the phone down when I have questioned it, but just to warn anyone there may be something going on.

I had a call from a blocked number yesterday from HSBC Hendon branch. The (Indian) lady in question said she was returning my call around setting up online banking after my in-branch enquiry and was happy to go through the logon process with me. I challenged her to prove she was from HSBC and her only comeback was that I came in to the branch. Bye bye!

I have no idea what it is but if people are aware it just makes you extra careful. I had one of the "computer" ones the other day and was ready to string him along when he put the phone down..........very disappointed!
