Scam or not?

I had this text come through to my mobile phone at 9.50 this evening.. I'm not even with HSBC!!

Is it a scam & what do they get out of it?

Re: Scam or not?

HSBC customers have unfortunately been targeted by a dangerous scam text message, falsely informing them of a payee added to their account
