Santander call scam? How to spot the fakes! - +44 808 280 0323 (0808 280 0323)

Expert Opinion
Beware of calls claiming to be Santander, especially when they ask you to press keys or provide personal details. Many recipients report automated messages that sound official but quickly shift to a request for verification codes, dates of birth or card PINs – classic hallmarks of a scam. Always cross‑check the number on the back of your card or via the bank’s secure website before you engage. Do not trust a text that urges you to call a short‑code; instead, hang up and dial the known customer‑service line yourself. If you suspect fraud, report the number to your bank and to Action Fraud, and consider blocking the caller on your handset.
