The HSBC £220 IS A SCAM

Typical, just trying to floss the public.

I switched to an HSBC account, if I remember correctly it was £150 for switching, then £50 after a period for using the account. It was the most convoluted process I've ever had, and involved a branch visit.
After all that the switching payment failed. I called the call centre, the person opened a complaint and then offered me £200 to settle it.
I've sometimes idly thought - I haven't had a switching bonus from them, so would still meet the criteria to get one. Unfortunately I have had one from First Direct, and they are now lumping them together, so I still wouldn't meet the criteria.
Anyway - ignore me - carry on as you were….

Except the real scams that people think are genuine
Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.2 -
I was being sarcastic as increasingly it seems people refer to something being a scam when it doesn’t go their way
