I received an email purporting to be from Santander, but it seemed rather dodgy as they requested my phone number within the message. This is definitely not how Santander operates. I urge you not to ring the number they've provided; it’s a total scam!

I received a letter from Santander concerning a credit card application that I never initiated. Out of curiosity, I decided to search the number right away and stumbled upon this site. Just to clarify, I’ve never had an account with Santander. Consider this a warning—it's likely a scam!

I received a letter from Santander asking for additional details for a new bank account. Curiosity led me to search the number 01908 343925, and it turned out to be a fraudulent scam. I've reported it to Santander and I'm now patiently awaiting their response.

I received a bizarre call wherein someone referred to me by my name and questioned whether I was currently present in the country. They also inquired about the nature of my business. Quite an odd interaction, indeed. The call originated from this number: 01908 632265.

I’d like to extend my gratitude to everyone who has shared their thoughts here. The messages are quite compelling, particularly the leaflet regarding fraud awareness that seems to have originated from Santander – it strikes me as possibly being authentic, or even pilfered. Don’t forget to flag this situation to Action Fraud as well.

I've had a run-in with someone claiming to be from Santander, and let me tell you, it's a right stitch-up! They even mailed me a letter that looked entirely legitimate, complete with Santander's leaflets. Just be on your guard, alright? It's not worth the risk! And if you do encounter anything suspicious, make sure to report it to Action Fraud. Better safe than sorry!

I recently got a rather persuasive letter about fraud, complete with a disclaimer asking for all my personal information. They even included a leaflet on fraud awareness! The thing is, I don’t actually have an account with them. However, it’s easy to see how someone who does might be tempted to fill that form in… Quite infuriating! 😡

I’ve unexpectedly received a credit card and PIN from Santander, despite not having made any application. I reported this odd occurrence to Santander’s Fraud team on 6th October. Today, I got a letter that claims to be from them, featuring a phone number. Interestingly, the letter is dated the same day I got the credit card, yet it took 11 days to reach me!

I received an email requesting my credit card information. I decided to go to the Santander bank, where I had a meeting with a staff member who explained the situation to me. Eventually, I managed to speak with a kind lady who provided me with information about what would happen next. Now, I will patiently wait for further updates.

I received an email informing me that I have opened a current account. It included the usual instructions to update my email address because the one they have on file is incorrect. The email also advised me to contact their fraud department at 0190 834 3925 in case it wasn't me who opened the account. This struck me as odd because Santander typically uses 0800 numbers. I disregarded it as a scam and replied to the email, stating that I have forwarded it to the police.

I recently received a letter from Santander, containing a phone number, stating that there had been a credit card application made in my name (which I did not make) and they required additional information from me. Since I did not respond to this letter, I received another one a week later. Interestingly, it also included the same phone number and expressed Santander's concern for protecting my identity. The letter came with a form attached, requesting my personal details to complete the process.

I have received a letter that seems to be from Santander, but I must say that the letter has a very low-quality appearance. The printed text also seems to be of poor quality. I find this quite surprising since I haven't had any dealings or applications with Santander recently.

I received an email requesting further details regarding a credit card application I hadn't made. The message clearly stated that if I wasn't the one who applied, I should phone the number provided right away. It appeared to be legitimate and well-crafted, but it turned out to be a scam, and it claimed to be from Santander.

I received an email recently claiming they required some additional details regarding a credit card application. The peculiar thing is, I hadn't even made such an application. The message instructed me to call the number provided straight away if I wasn’t the one who applied. It seemed quite genuine and properly formatted, but it turned out to be a dodgy message, not from Santander at all.

I received an email that claimed to be from Santander informing me that a new account had been opened in my name. To make matters worse, the email seemed legitimate as it included instructions to contact the fraud department at 0190 834 3925 if I hadn't applied for an account. However, upon conducting a quick search, I discovered that this number was associated with a scam. Frustrated by the situation, I forwarded the email to Santander's phishing email address to report it.
What adds to my annoyance is that this was my second scam encounter of the day. The first one involved a fraudulent NHS scheme for COVID passports which requested GBP 4.99 and asked for your card details. It truly angers me!

I recently received an initial letter providing login details for my "new" account. Afterwards, I received a follow-up letter from their "Applications Team" advising that someone had attempted to secure a Personal Loan under our name. The provided contact number on the letter is 01908 343 925. However, after conducting further research, it appears that this number is associated with various scams such as Sandander, Next, SimplyBe, and HRMC.
The letter states that if the application is fraudulent, I should provide them with my details so that they can report it to Cifas, the UK Fraud Prevention Service. It is important not to fall into this trap and refrain from providing any personal information. This is an elaborate scam that convincingly poses as a legitimate communication.

I went through a similar incident recently: I received an email claiming I had applied for a mortgage from Santander, even though I hadn't. The email provided a number to contact the fraud team. Suspecting a scam, I decided to Google the correct number for the fraud team at Santander, which turned out to be different. It is clear that it was indeed a fraudulent attempt.

Earlier today, I received a phone message on my mobile. This incident marks the fifth attempt in the past month that I have encountered phishing, scams, and fraudsters impersonating various entities like Next, Simplybe, HMRC, and now Santander. The caller used the number 0800 389 0755, which appears to be linked to Santander based on the lookup, but there have been reports of it being involved in scam activities as well. The voicemail was left by a lady named Katrina, who claimed to be from Santander's application team. She had a European accent and mentioned that she needed to speak to someone specified. Additionally, she provided a callback number of 01908 343925. I have not returned the call and will instead be contacting the action fraud police department for assistance.

I recently received an email from [email protected]. The email stated that a P6 Current Account Application had been opened under my name. Towards the end of the email, in small text, there was a bold notification asking if I had not applied for a current account and provided a number to report it.
Concerned about the email, I decided to call the number provided and spoke with a man who had a Midlands accent. He asked for my name, date of birth, and address. At this point, I started feeling uncomfortable about providing my personal information to someone over the phone. To be safe, I decided to search for the Santander Fraud phone number myself. I discovered that the number I was speaking with did not match the official Santander Fraud number.
Upon informing the person on the other line about the discrepancy, he started acting suspiciously, which made me very uneasy. In response, I quickly ended the call.
