Wish they would just give up, I’m tired of not answering the phone to this number.

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.

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!
