Is this a scam???

To be honest, I'll answer my own question... I don't know, but I've taken sensible precautions not to get caught...

Just received a phone call from 0800 030 4909 to my Mobile phone aledgedly from HSBC bank (with whom, I do have an account). He then said that he needed to confirm who I was to protect my confidentiality & security, so then read out teh first part of my post code & asked me to complete second part.

I told him that I appreciated him wanting to maintain my security & so I would support that by not providing my information!

He then said that he could provide a number for me to call back on or send info in teh post, so I said post would be fine...

If it arrives, then maybe it was genuine... if not, well, perhaps I've saved some money!!

In which case, I'm glad that I shared this!!
