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.
