800-975-4722

Anyone know whos this is, as soon as I pick up they hang up.

May 24, 2007: This number has repeatedly called my home (the last few days), leaves NO messages on my answer machine, and hangs up if I answer it personally.

called 5 times today, about evry 15 minutes, no message, same yesterday.

THis is the HSBE bank

That is the HSBC bank. Sorry

They call at least a dozen times a day...they are a collection agency trying to collect on any number of credit card accounts.  You can write to them in response to their dozens of ridiculous collection letters but they refuse to respond or correct anything.  Best to just keep ignoring them.

Calls and when I answer it hangs up.  They may also be leaving partial messages not identifying themselves.

They have a tool called predictive dialing...imagine a call center with hundreds of people on the phone making phone calls. They don't actually dial the number, but they have a dialing maching. But to get more efficient, this machine predicts or guesses when someone at the call center would be free...so while their callers are talking to people, this machine is dialing and hoping that one of their callers are available. If the machine dials someone and one of their callers are not available, the machine hangs up.

This is to make things efficient for them. The alternative would be for one of their callers to hang up and then wait the 10 seconds for the call to be made and picked up by someone...this way they save 10 seconds many times a day...

of course we get the nasty annoyance of that ring/hangup.

They call me for about a week 1-2 times a day. No voice messages left. Seemed to be the one more offer from HSBC bank. Smth. to protect your account, to sign for life insurance etc...

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?  I tried calling the number back and the number links you to a call center overseas.  No one knows what is going on over there and they will not put you on the phone with a supervisor.  Has anyone had any luck stopping these calls?

Just called -- a couple of clicks on the line, then dead air, then I disconnected.

Every time I answer they hang up. I call back and no one knows who called. This number calls at the very least 10 times a day. It is annoying!

couple times a day.... i tried calling aback and got hung up in  HSBC's phone tree. no option to talk to human

We have had eight calls in four days. When my wife or I pick up the phone, there is no answer.  When there is dead space after we say hello, we always immediately hang up.

same here. kept calling a few times a week. tried to block the number with my phone. but seems didn't succeed. annoying.

They called me 3 times today. I called back and message says welcome to hsbc and then I hung up.

Received a call from 800.975.4722...said Hello...no response..stayed on the line just to see what would happen...after about 30 seconds or so..they hung up..I signed up for the no call registery ..so I will report this number to them....Must be nice to have so much time on their hands, they feel the need to just sit there and dial numbers...Almost childish don`t you think...

OMG it just happened again...I called the operator and she gave me the Annoyance Phone Call Number for my local area to report it...Left a message there and will follow up on it tomorrow...

Received a call back from the Annoyance Desk for my local number...Said it is HSBC (which I all ready knew)..suggested try calling the number back and try to get a person...I did just that...after several prompts.....finaly got a person...Melanie...in Buffalo.(11.19.2008).Melanie had several possibilities why this is happening..but nothing solid...she took the info and my complaint..said she was going to give it to a manager and would get back to me...I told her about this google site....so hopefully the calls will stop..I hope to get a response..only time will tell...
