Saying Santander paused a payment of £374 to an individual, press y if correct or call this number. Called the number, well spoken male wanted to take me through security questions but I told him I’d rather not as don’t have an account with Santander. He said oh well if that’s the case have a nice day and hung up. Definitely a scam/fraud attempt, told him google identified the number being from TAP GATEWAY LIMITED, that was when he hung up. Please don’t give these people any information!!

Text message advising that I had set up a new payee - Alan S - on my Nat West account and then detailed a landline number to contact if it wasn’t me. I did not contact the number. I’m pretty sure this is a fraud/scam.
