This number called me more than 9 times on February 19. I have B. T. Call Gaurdian which requires caller to state their identity. No identity was offered so the call was not connected. following other comments here, I have now blocked the number. My bank (Santander) would have stated their identity.

Caller said she was from Santander when I answered my landline at 10.53 am today. Asked to speak to my son using his full name and stating that he should press any number on the phone pad to connect to Santander. I held for a few moments to listen for any other information and then hung up.
