(WARNING WARNING WARNING) This number was obviously set up to fish HSBC credit card numbers.  I got a text telling me to call this number.  When I did an electronic voice told me that my HSBC credit card had been locked.  I was then given the option to unlock it by entering my credit card number.  The only problem is I do not have an HSBC credit card.  Do not give them any information, you will get ripped off...  (WARNING WARNING WARNING)

I just got the same text message but about B&T (whatever that is).  I ignored it.  Thanks for posting!

I received this same txt today. I did not call however, I came online to check to see what everyone else had to say. THANKS! for the heads up!

Same as above, got the text, ON MY FEDERAL GOVT WORK PHONE and don't have an HSBC cc.  I did not call it back. Anyone legit'ly trying to contact me on the Federal phone would have given more of a message than:

917-364-2417 (Sender)
Republic B&T Notice.
Please contact (501).760-2306
Callback #: 9173642417

I'm in NY, Federal phone has a KY area code.

Same here! Too many scams to just call back every unknown!
