Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, the call from +448082802784 can appear reassuring yet hide a threat.

Scam
This number appeares to be a scam
It was certainly Santander. Suspicious of the text received, I contacted them via the app. They verified fraudulent eBay purchases attempted via Apple Pay using my card, which I never use there. Thankfully, the card was halted, funds are being returned, and a replacement is on its way.

A text message arrived with the typical 'press this button to respond yes or no' nonsense. I recognised it as a scam immediately.

Reported as negative
I missed two calls, yet they appear to be from Santander, as others have reported. I had a payment declined shortly before, received the usual fraud‑check SMS from Santander, and an email from the merchant confirming the transaction failed, so I'm fairly certain it was legitimate.
