Expert Opinion

Never assume a call is genuine without verification. Many callers masquerade as Santander’s fraud team, using familiar language and even personal transaction details to gain trust. Keep calm, note the caller’s exact phrasing and any request for personal information or PINs – legitimate banks never ask for these over the phone. Hang up and independently dial the official number printed on your card or statement; do not use the number that called you. If you receive a text, compare the sender ID with the official Santander contact details, and treat any unexpected prompts to press keys as red flags. Always log the call details before reporting them to your bank’s fraud department.

448082800878 Spam Santander (scam)

Claims to represent Santander, but appears to be fraudulent due to suspicious activity.

448082800878 Safe Santander

The number turned out to be legit. After I made an online payment, I got a text in my Santander thread saying two identical payments were requested and that another number would text me. The second text asked me to confirm ‘y’ or ‘n’; I replied ‘n’ and then received a message saying they’d call from this number. I declined and called Santander myself – they confirmed they had indeed tried to reach me. Better safe than sorry, so ring the number on the back of your card, yeah?

448082800878 Scam santander (scam)

That number is certainly a scam – stay alert and avoid it. Callers use an automated voice pretending to be Santander, alleging detected fraud. If you truly suspect fraud, contact the official bank number found in your emails or on the bank’s website. It's a scam.

448082800878 Safe Santander

Yep, that was Santander inquiring about a dodgy debit‑card transaction, innit.

448082800878 Safe Santander

That text appeared to be from Santander after I declined a transaction; my account had been fraudulently accessed multiple times that evening. I avoided calling the number and instead contacted their fraud department directly.

Often this number rings, pretending to be Santander, mate.

448082800878 Safe santander

After making a purchase, I got a text on the mobile I use for OTPs showing the amount and shop. Santander then pinged to verify it was me, offering Yes/No or a callback. I rang them because a fresh card payment had initially been declined. After a couple of quick security checks – DOB and such – I confirmed the purchase. A quick call to the bank verified it was legit, not a scam, cheers.

My landline receives repeated calls from them. BT Intercept screens callers, requiring identification before forwarding. Since they never provide it, the call never reaches me; even if they did, the system would prompt me to accept, reject, or save, and I would certainly reject.

Looks like a Santander scam message, yeah.

448082800878 Safe Santander

I suspect the negative comments regarding this number are from scammers. I received a text from it but chose not to call back; instead, I contacted the official Santander number listed on their website. They confirmed that the message was legitimate and sent to check my account. Since I didn't respond, they blocked my card as a precaution. Be cautious of the other reports. If unsure, always call the official Santander number like I did.

On 24 September I got a text that seemed to be from Santander saying my account was now linked to Google Pay, which I ignored. Shortly after, another message, also appearing to be from Santander, asked whether I had made payments to several recipients, claiming they had been held as suspicious and instructing me to call the provided number to reply Y or N. When I checked my account, I was shocked to see an unauthorised £400 withdrawal. As it was the weekend I couldn't reach the bank, so I plan to visit tomorrow. How are fraudsters obtaining these details?
