Outrageous HSBC Mastercard Security Questions
SL in Hawaii says: “I recently applied for and received a HSBC Mastercard. When I called to activate it, 2 out of the 3 questions had to do with my ex-husband’s (divorced 25 years) wife - what state she lives in and how old she is. When I asked what possible reason would her name be linked with mine for credit purposes, the rep couldn’t give me an answer and just said their questions were from “public records”. What if I didn’t know my ex-husband’s wife, how old she was or where she lived? Would my credit card activation have been denied? Does anyone have a clue about what type of records they get their security questions from?”
