Do business with HSBC and get a crapload of telemarketing calls!

[TGregg]

Once you become a customer of HSBC, you are marked for an endless series of automated telemarketing calls several times a day starting at some future date. They have a number that supposedly allows you to drop off their telemarketing list - after you get 60 more days of 6 calls a day, that is.

Who is HSBC? HSBC is a banking concern. According to their website, they are one of the top ten financial services company in the United States. If you have or ever had an Orchard Bank MasterCard, Direct Merchants Bank Platinum Card, GM Flexible Earnings Card, Direct Rewards Platinum Card, Best Buy Reward Zone MasterCard, or Union Plus MasterCard, you have done business with HSBC. They also offer many other products including checking and savings accounts, loans and mortgages, auto loans, insurance, credit management, and other services.

If they have to resort to massive automated telemarketing, they might be on the verge of being shut down anyway.
