They texted me first to say they were from Santander and were going to call me between 2 and 6pm about a problem with my account. As this is untrue I ignored the call - an obvious scam.
Keep getting calls from this number, saying they are from Santander. Phoned Santander ans assured that its not them calling me. Number blocked on my mobile. Worringly though they now started calling my home number...
Said they were santander they are not, do not give them any details, just block the number
I called Santander fraud team, I was told its not a Santander number and I was told my account was OK and Santander had no reason to call me.
2 missedd calls, one voicemail left asking me to contact Santander bank. I never did ring it back.
Saying Santander but asking too many personal details for my liking hung up and number blocked
They have now phoned me 4 times, I have blocked the number on my mobile but since I blocked it they have phoned twice so what is the point of blocking
Got me to phone another number but was very convincing I put the phone down when it said I had an outstanding payment
Call on both my home phone and mobile from 0800085123 claiming to be Santander and asking me to press any digit to be connected .
Automated message says it is Santander but gave a slightly different number to call back (08000851271)
Claiming to be Santander and asking me to call them back
Says it is Santander. Automated voice asks you to confirm your name and the next question was about an account detail so ai hung up and called Santander to check and there are no outstanding queries from them so its a scam! Don't pick up! Number now blocked!
SCAMMERS Not Santander
