Reports on phone number 08000778052
5 daysGot a letter claiming that someone had tried to get a credit card using my details. I searched the phone number they gave and found loads of reviews about it here. Chucked the letter straight in the bin after that.2 monthsI got a letter about some credit card fraud, looked genuine at first so I rang the number they gave me. But then they started asking for my name and date of birth, which made me really uneasy. It was all very well presented and quite believable. I really hope folks don’t fall for these dodgy scams.4 monthsJust got this letter too, saying ‘an application has been made using your name’ and it even included a prepaid envelope and all. It seemed pretty legit at first, so I’m really relieved I looked it up on this site before doing anything!7 monthsGot a letter claiming to be from "Santander" saying someone's opened an account with my info. I looked up the phone number they gave, and it's definitely not Santander's real contact. Trust me, don't respond to this scam!Santander7 monthsGot a voicemail on my home phone from someone saying they were with Santander, telling me to ring a number back or bring along two forms of photo ID to my nearest branch. No details about what it was about though, which seemed pretty dodgy. The person didn't sound like they knew what they were talking about either. Since I don't even have an account with Santander, I thought it was fishy and looked up the number online first - that’s how I ended up here. Really pleased I didn’t bother calling them back.Santander8 monthsGot a letter stating someone tried to apply for something with Santander using my name, but it was marked as fraud. They asked me to fill out a form with my info and post it to an address they provided. Turns out the phone number on the letter isn’t real and is known to be linked to a scam.Santander8 monthsGot a text pretending to be from Santander, telling me to ring a number if I hadn’t got a letter about some account I supposedly applied for. Thing is, I don’t bank with Santander and never put in any application. So, I decided to check the number online to see if it was legit or some random scam. Turns out, it’s definitely a fake.Santander1 yearGot an email that looked pretty legit from Santander claiming they'd got my application for a current account. But since I never applied, I was told to ring the fraud dept at the number they gave. Bit suspicious if you ask me.Santander1 yearI got a couple of letters too, one about someone trying to get a credit card using my name and another about opening a bank account. The bank one even had a form asking for all my personal info to be filled out. Really worrying stuff!1 yearGot the exact same letter mentioned in other comments just today. It looked quite legit at first. Rather than completing the form they sent, I decided to ring the number provided. Since I actually bank with Santander, the person on the phone asked me for the last three digits of my current account, which I told them. Then they wanted the entire account number, and that’s when I got suspicious and decided to google the phone number. Turns out, it's a pretty clever scam.Santander1 yearI got this exact letter too, just like some others mentioned. I've never had an account with Santander, and the info on the letterhead doesn’t line up with what’s on their official website.Santander1 yearToday I got a letter saying someone tried to open a Santander account with my name, like some all in one credit card thing. So I rang Santander up and they told me they have no record of any fraud or even of sending that letter. Also, I don’t even have an account with them. Honestly, don’t ring the number or respond to that letter, it’s dodgy!Santander2 yearsGot a letter saying it was from Santander, but I double-checked with them and they said that number’s not theirs at all. Definitely a scam.Santander2 yearsScam alert - Got a super convincing letter supposedly from Santander asking me to fill out and send back a form with my personal info. I checked with Santander and they said it wasn’t from them at all. Definitely don’t phone the number they gave on the letter.Santander2 yearsSeems like those letters haven’t stopped coming through. I got one just today with the exact same info as before. It was made out to Mr .. which was already off, and the grammar was dodgy too - they wrote “we’ve received an application” instead of “we have”. I got a bad feeling when they started asking for personal details. The number they gave was 08000778052. Pretty sure it’s a scam, even if it does sound legit at first.2 yearsJust like a few others here, I got sent a letter that looked pretty legit, with a bunch of forms to fill out for something called Cifas. It made me a bit wary though. When I rang the fraud department number on the letter, it didn’t match any of Santander’s official contact numbers. Saw some earlier posts about this, and I’m glad I double-checked before doing anything daft and losing money!Fraud OperationsSantander2 yearsI got a letter saying I’d applied for a Santander credit card, with their phone number 08000778052 and told to press Option 2. Problem is, I never asked for a credit card, so this is definitely a scam.Santander2 yearsGot a letter claiming to be from Santander saying there was an attempt to open a credit card in my name, but the application was rejected due to suspected fraud. They asked me to fill in some personal info to report it to CIFAS. The letter looked super legit, so I rang Santander using a number I found myself. Turns out, Santander said they never sent that letter. The letter had 0800 077 8052 on the top, but that wasn’t their real contact.Santander2 yearsTwo letters arrived, apparently from Santander, claiming that someone tried to get a credit card and set up a bank account using my details. They looked pretty legit, except for a weird mistake mixing up singular and plural words. Each letter had loads of info about reporting fraud, but also a “disclaimer form” that wanted way too much personal info - the sort that a fraudster might use to actually open accounts pretending to be me. They even want my signature on it! Plus, the phone number they gave doesn’t match any official Santander contact I’ve found.Santander2 yearsJust got a letter that said it was from Santander, saying someone had applied for "a Credit Cards". It had the same phone number 0800 077 8052 and a Sunderland Fraud Operations address. They want you to complete a Disclaimer form with all your personal info... which sounds like a trick to get enough details to open a fake account using your name.SantanderFraud OperationsSunderland2 yearsGot a letter that said it was from Santander saying someone had put in an application for an "all in one credit card". The letter had the same phone number, 0800 077 8052, and the Fraud Operations address in Sunderland on it. But the number they gave to reach Royal Mail about stolen post was wrong, and the Santander letterhead looked old and out of date. Definitely a total scam.SantanderFraud OperationsSunderlandRoyal Mail2 yearsI received a rather persuasive letter in the mail the other day. It inquired if I had made an application for an account and if I had possibly fallen prey to any fraudulent activities. The whole thing appeared quite legitimate. I decided to investigate the number provided and stumbled upon this site. I'm really relieved I took the time to look into it!2 yearsUnexpectedly received a debit card in my name that I certainly did not ask for. It's clearly an attempt at fraud, so I've gone ahead and disposed of the card.2 yearsGot a letter from Santander saying someone applied for a credit card in my name, though the grammar was a bit off. They asked for loads of personal info that would make it easy to actually get a card put through. Pretty sneaky, but not slick enough to fool me. Just tore it up straight away.Santander2 yearsI tried ringing Santander, but they told me the number isn’t legit.Santander2 yearsI received a correspondence that claimed to be from Santander, featuring this number. The letter stated that there had been an attempt to set up an account fraudulently in my name. It looked remarkably authentic, almost too good to be true.Santander2 yearsI've had the same letter from Santander come through my door twice, requesting that I complete a form to forward to Cifas, so they can inform other banks that I've been a victim of fraud. The correspondence seemed quite official, but I’m relieved I took the time to investigate further. I truly hope these individuals face some serious consequences for their attempts to siphon money from unsuspecting folks. Quite devious, if you ask me!SantanderCifas2 yearsGot this letter saying Santander had a credit card application under my name, which was actually untrue. They wanted details that could’ve helped scammers get credit cards by pretending to be me.Santander2 yearsI haven't actually received a call myself, but similar to others, I've come across a letter that pertains to the initiation of a new account. It certainly appears rather credible.2 yearsTotal rip-off. They sent me a letter with a freepost envelope, obviously trying to trick me into giving them my details.2 yearsReceived a call from a dodgy account opening service, and they left a number to ring back. I reckon it’s a scam! Best to steer clear of that one.2 yearsAbsolute con artist at work here.3 yearsI never actually dialled the number, but the letter seemed super genuine. It included loads of details about CIFAS and even came with a prepaid envelope for sending back a filled-in Disclaimer form - which asked for quite a bit of personal info. I simply ignored it. Plus, when I looked the Sunderland postcodes up, neither on the letter nor on the envelope turned up anywhere on Google Maps. There was just one tiny grammar slip-up in the whole thing - they wrote “Current Accounts” instead of singular. Other than that, it all looked completely legit.SunderlandGoogle Maps3 yearsA letter turned up from Santander telling me someone tried to open an account using my details. They reckoned I might be a victim of identity theft and asked me to ring 0800 077 8052 right away. I checked their official site for proper fraud contact numbers and was told that applications were submitted in my name and my partner's, but neither account was fully activated. They’ve put a hold on both just in case anyone attempts to proceed further.Santander3 yearsI got a letter this morning requesting me to verify if I had indeed applied for a credit card. The letter looked remarkably convincing and even contained details about a fraud prevention programme. However, the disclaimer that required me to state I hadn’t applied seemed excessively demanding, asking for my employer’s name and address, which raised some red flags for me. Just a word of caution to everyone-it's all too easy to fall into a trap like this.3 yearsGot a letter from Santander warning me about possible identity theft and to call a number they gave. When I called, some guy called Adam asked for my personal info to 'verify' me. I didn't feel right about it so I didn’t give anything and ended the call. Definitely sounds like a scam to me.SantanderAdam3 yearsI recently got a rather alarming letter from Santander informing me that I had fallen prey to identity theft. Apparently, someone attempted to set up an account using my details. They instructed me to ring 08000778052 for further assistance. Quite unsettling, I must say!Santander3 yearsI just got a letter instructing me to ring this number, as it seems there's been an attempt to open a Santander bank account using my details. They’re asking me to contact their fraud department straight away.Santander3 yearsI keep receiving random calls from this number, and it's becoming quite bothersome.3 yearsIt appears that I've received a rather alarming letter that impersonates Santander, stating that an attempt was made to set up an account in my name, alongside allegations of dubious fraudulent activities. The correspondence provided extensive information about fraud prevention and requested that I fill out a disclaimer affirming that I have not initiated any account application. However, this disclaimer demands personal data such as my complete address history and employment specifics. I reached out to their helpline, but they seemed eager to extract this sensitive information over the phone as well. The documentation was incredibly convincing, with details that made it seem utterly legitimate. Even the phone number looked like it belonged to Santander, and the customer service felt remarkably professional. I'm absolutely stunned by how intricately crafted this scam was!Santander3 yearsMy son supposedly started an account according to an email I got, said the emails were different and that I needed to get in touch to fix it. I rang the number given, but they told me to call another one. That one picked up pretty fast, but then I was left waiting on hold forever. When I looked up the number I was given, I came across this site and decided to just hang up.3 yearsGot a letter that said it was from Santander’s Fraud team saying someone tried to open an account with my details. They wanted me to ring them straight away as they suspected identity fraud. I called Santander to check and turns out this number isn’t one of theirs at all.Fraud Department of SantanderSantander3 yearsDont even bother calling that number, it’s definitely a scam.3 yearsWe got a letter in the post that looked proper authentic, saying someone had tried to set up a Santander account using our info. So we phoned Santander and they told us it wasn't from them at all.Santander3 yearsFrom what I found out, this number does belong to Santander, but loads of people are calling it a scam. If you aren’t sure, it’s best to ring the bank’s real customer service line. I think this one might be linked to their fraud department or something like that.Santander3 yearsGot a message on my voicemail claiming to be from Santander, said I should ring a certain number. So I rang up the proper Santander bank to check and they said it was a scam. Lucky I didn’t call the number they gave, that would’ve been scammers on the other end.Santander3 yearsFor sure, this is an official number from Santander.Santander3 yearsI can't find this number anywhere on Santander’s official pages. Right now, I’m reaching out to Santander to verify if it’s theirs or not.Santander3 yearsBeware, I got scammed by someone pretending to be from Santander.
