Dealing with this nuisance because my Santander credit cards are already overdrawn, so someone must've accessed that info and is misusing my number for illegal calls. The robo‑message keeps mispronouncing my surname each time—leaving three or four voicemails monthly, very persistent. I dn't think it's a coincidence. Finally Googled the number and was relieved I never called back; looks like another scumbag scam!! 😡

Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, this number masquerades as Santander, bombarding phones with recorded messages that request personal or financial details. Under data‑protection law, unsolicited calls that aim to harvest personal data are unlawful unless a legitimate interest can be demonstrated, which this caller cannot prove. Recipients should avoid sharing any account information, block the number on their device, and report the incident to the Information Commissioner’s Office and their bank’s fraud team. Keeping call logs, noting timestamps, and using a call‑screening app can help build evidence if authorities need to investigate the scam. Remember, the safest route is to report and delete.

Got a text message from.
This morning, I got a text from 07862121713, claiming to be from Santander, stating they would call between 4pm and 6pm. The message included my full name and the last four digits of my bank account. An 0800 number called later, and when I answered, it was silent. It seems they might have accessed my information from somewhere, as I am cautious about my purchases. They are likely trying to gather more details for fraudulent purposes. DO NOT ENGAGE AND REPORT IMMEDIATELY. ALSO, INFORM YOUR BANK TO ALERT CUSTOMERS. Stay safe.
The callers claim to be Santander and will ring you multiple times a day; if they miss you on mobile they’ll immediately try your landline. They never leave a voicemail and persist daily, which constitutes harassment and breaches regulations.
Its clear that this is a tactic used by Santander, they will continously call you throughout the day, switching between mobile and landline, and wont leave a mesage, this is a form of harrasment and should not be tolerated by companys
