08082800301 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number βοΈ 08082800301 π is reported as a number linked to Santander's fraud department, used both legitimately and by scammers spoofing it to target customers. Several callers received automated messages prompting verification of suspicious transactions, with Santander confirming the numberβs validity in some cases. However, frequent reports highlight persistent scam attempts involving cloned numbers, fake texts, and calls asking for personal details or security codes. Users are strongly advised to avoid responding directly, not to provide sensitive information, and to verify any suspicious contact through official Santander channels listed on their website or bank card. The consensus urges vigilance, using trusted contact points, and reporting fraudulent activity to the police and Action Fraud to protect against sophisticated scams.
Reports on phone number 08082800301
5 monthsGot a call from someone saying they were Santander and they wanted me to press any number on the phone keypad. Felt really dodgy to me.Santander5 monthsI got a robo call saying it was Santander bank, but it’s definitely a scam. Santander’s own terms say they don’t actually ring you up like that. Watch out!Santander5 monthsSomeone rang me saying they were from Santander's fraud team. They asked me to wait on the line, but after about 5 minutes of just silence and no one actually coming on, I just hung up. Sounds dodgy to me.Santander7 monthsThey tried to fish for my account details but I didn’t share any. They kept throwing different birthdays at me, probably hoping I’d slip up.8 monthsJust got hit by Santander claiming a payment that I never made. Definitely looks like fraud to me. Be careful out there!Santander1 yearI got a text from the regular Santander number, but then they told me to reply to another number. Sounds dodgy to me, probably a scam or some kind of fraud. I've blocked the number and let Santander know about it.Santander1 yearGot a call from someone saying they were from Santander’s fraud team, using my full name. I wasn’t convinced and decided to ring Santander myself, who then told me it was all a scam and the number was fake.Santander1 yearGot a text claiming to be from Santander.Santander1 yearIt's obvious some of these replies are from the scammers themselves telling folks "it's legit." Honestly, they'll go to any lengths to trick people.1 yearLooks like the fraudsters are popping up in the comments here, telling folks "it's legit". They'll use whatever tricks they can, honestly.1 yearGot two texts saying Santander blocked a couple of £50 payments on the 30th Jan from a shop I've actually bought from before. They asked me to reply with Y or N if I recognised them, and if not to use a pin code they mentioned. The message had a phone number to call as well. Don't fall for it - it's definitely a scam.Santander2 yearsGot three calls coming in from about 4 to 8 in the evening, all saying they're from Santander and asking us to ring their fraud team. Bit suspicious if you ask me.Santander2 yearsJust popped into the Santander branch next door and they told me the number’s legit.Santander2 yearsI got a call claiming to be from O2, saying I needed to swap my SIM card to update my phone. I found it fishy because the text messages with the confirmation codes looked off. Real O2 messages usually show up as O2UK, but this one had “02 UK” with a space, which seemed dodgy. The whole thing didn’t sit right with me, so I just hung up.UK2 yearsIf you get a call from this number, it's probably Santander checking in because they think there might be some dodgy activity on your account.Santander2 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Santander’s fraud team, and they actually knew my name which freaked me out a bit. I didn’t answer, but logged into my account just to be safe and everything looked fine, no alerts or anything. Then I popped into a branch and they told me there wasn’t any issue with my accounts at all.Santander2 yearsGot a call from Santander’s fraud team, they stopped me from losing about £100, really glad they caught it in time!Santander2 yearsFor sure a scam. Santander would probably call you directly if there was a problem. Some of the people commenting here are scam folks trying to trick you. So don’t believe everything you read here.Santander2 yearsReal Santander Fraud Team. I got a bit sceptical and called the Santander number listed elsewhere (not the one here). The call got me connected to Fraud and they said it was all legit. I completely get why everyone’s so wary these days! I told them they should probably switch up their process to cut down on these calls and mix-ups!Santander Fraud DepartmentSantanderFraud2 yearsI've been getting messages claiming that Santander has turned down some transactions, advising me to ring this number if I'm unsure about the amounts involved. Quite concerning!Santander2 years08082800301 is not Santander, it’s a scam, don’t follow what they tell you to do, be careful this is a fraud!Santander2 yearsI had a real issue with my card being cloned and the Santander Fraud team were really helpful sorting it out for me;Santander2 yearsI got a call from 07380307825 which appears to be from Santander, but the reply number they wanted me to contact was actually marked as a scam related to banking.Santander2 yearsGot a text claiming to be from Santander about a card payment. They wanted me to respond to a follow up message from the number +447862133599. Pretty sure this isn't really Santander, so watch out!!Santander2 yearsI just got a message claiming to be from Santander, requesting me to confirm a transaction. However, when I checked my account, there was absolutely no sign of it. I’d reckon this is quite the clever scam, albeit more than a little suspect.Santander3 yearsDidn’t recognise the number so I just ignored the call.3 yearsMy missus got a text saying it was from Santander, telling her to ring this number and use some PIN. She’s sorting it out by getting in touch with Santander themselves.Santander3 yearsGot a text like just before 7 on a Sunday night, and they must know you can't get hold of your bank then. After reading some of the comments here, I wonder if those saying it’s a genuine call are actually the scammers themselves leaving fake reviews. Makes you stop and think.3 yearsThis 08082800301 is definitely dodgy. They keep sending two texts, trying to pass off as Santander. Totally a scam.Santander3 yearsDO NOT BELIEVE THIS, its a FRAUD...they claim to be Santander but it’s definitely not a bank calling...Santander3 yearsGot a text saying it was from Santander about a payment that supposedly had an issue, with a number to call back. The text asked me to reply Y or N. Now I know it’s dodgy and will be careful with anything like this in future.Santander3 yearsI got a message from Santander asking me if I made a payment to Apple, telling me to reply yes or no or call 08082800301. I phoned Santander using a number I found on their official banking app. Turns out the text was legit, definitely not a scam. I just made sure to use a number from their website to be safe. If you’re ever unsure, best to take your time and double-check who you’re actually calling.SantanderApple3 yearsSantander Fraud Dept calling. The standard "hit any button" or ring them straight back on that number.Santander3 yearsI could tell right off the bat it wasnt Santander cos that’s not their number. Just went ahead and blocked it.Santander3 yearsI got a call from someone pretending to be Santander, but it was definitely a scammer using their number.Santander3 yearsLooks like those scammers are using a fake Santander number to trick people.Santander3 yearsFraudsters acting like they’re from Santander, don’t trust them!Santander3 yearsSantander kept ringing me non-stop, called me three times, total harassment.Santander3 yearsJust got a call pretending to be Santander, definitely a scam!Santander3 yearsI reached out to Santander, and they assured me that this isn’t an official number linked to any fraudulent activities. The representatives from their fraud team even verified that it’s a complete scam.Santander3 yearsSomeone called claiming to be from Santander’s fraud team. They knew my full name and I do bank with Santander. Asked me to call them back, but I rang the number on the back of my bank card instead. Santander told me it wasn’t their number at all.Santander3 yearsReceived a dodgy call claiming to be from "Bank Security" regarding some supposed misuse of my debit card. What a load of rubbish! I promptly hung up on the lad!Bank Security4 yearsGot a robocall saying ‘Message for you from Santander’ and it even used someone’s name - then it told me to press any button to go on. Total scam.Santander4 yearsReceived a dodgy pre-recorded message supposedly from Santander. Stay vigilant, folks!Santander4 yearsThis number has rung me a few times with an automated voice claiming to be from Santander. I contacted the bank directly using their official number and they said everything is fine with my account. Definitely a scam, dont engage!Santander4 yearsthey won’t stop ringing me, really annoying scammer on the line every time4 yearsWatch out, looks like a bank fraud!4 yearsSantander said a payment to Amazon went through when it hadn’t. I’d already paid with Barclays. They left a message but won’t ring them back.SantanderAmazonBarclays4 yearsClaimed they was from Santander and told me to press any key.Santander4 yearsI rang this number after Santander sent me through, and it was legit. They helped me sort out the transactions from my account after they put me on to the right place.Santander4 yearstotal scammer, this number aint from santander. they asked me for my 3 digit security code so i just ended the call right away.Santander4 yearsLegit Santander fraud call. They’ll ask you to pick your birth year from 4 options, then check your birth day and month. After that, they want you to verify any unusual payments using a PIN they send by text or email.Santander4 yearsThey kept ringing me like 10 times in a day, this robot woman voice claiming to be Santander, even had my name right, asking me to press any key to continue, but I didn’t press anything, just hung up. Feels really dodgy!! Got a few texts too, saying the same stuff! I’ll check with my bank but nothing unusual showing up. Definitely seems like one of those scam or spam calls. So frustrating getting that many calls!Santander4 yearsReceived a dodgy call claiming to be from Santander regarding potential fraud. Definitely sounded suspect!Santander4 yearsThis number looks like it belongs to Santander. The tricky part is scammers often fake (clone) bank numbers like this to trick folks. Don’t just ignore calls that say they’re from your bank, especially if they mention problems with your account. Best bet is to ring your bank back using the phone number on your card. While this number is real, the person calling might be a fraudster. The only way to be certain is to call your bank directly.Santander4 yearsI checked with Santander by using the phone number listed on their official site, and they told me that 08082800301 isn’t one of their numbers. Sounds like it could be some kind of phishing scam or fraud. If you get a call from that number, best to just block it straight away.Santander4 yearsReceived an influx of calls today, so I decided to investigate here after getting some dubious text messages that purported to be from Santander.Santander4 yearsWho on earth keeps ringing me and seems to know my name?4 yearsI've received three calls claiming there’s been a suspicious transaction on my card.4 yearsYeah, this is really Santander's Fraud Team. Just had a chat with them about a payment on my card that I didn’t know about. They were nice and super helpful.Santander Fraud Department4 yearsThis is definitely a con. It’s not Santander, just scammers trying to trick you.Santander4 yearsI received a call from Santander, as it turns out.Santander4 yearsI have no idea who this caller is, and they didn’t bother to leave any voicemail.4 yearsnever get to talk to anyone, just stuck on hold endlessly, calls me at all times day and night!!!4 yearsReceived a call purporting to be from the fraud division of Santander.Santander4 yearsPurporting to be from Santander, this call turned out to be nothing but a pre-recorded message. To make matters worse, my phone flagged it as a fraudulent attempt. Ironically, I don’t even hold an account with Santander!Santander4 yearsThey claimed to be from santander and wanted my mobile number. They told me to wait a moment and that they’d call back on my phone. I waited for about ten minutes but they never came back or rang me.Santander4 yearsBeen gettin calls from these lot all week on different numbers, defo a scam. They ask for info the bank says they never ask for on their anti-fraud page on the website.4 yearsAt first I thought it was a scam cos the call was an automated lady’s voice. They kept calling me several times during the day and I just ignored every call. Then the next day I saw some money was missing from my bank account. The number they used wasn’t the same as the Santander fraud team’s contact on their official site, but for me, it turned out to be genuine. I’d suggest you check your bank statements carefully, look at any recent or pending charges, and if anything seems off, call the number on Santander’s official website straight away.Santander5 yearsGot a robotic urgent message from Santander which wasnt meant for us. Answered and it just dropped the call. Keep getting calls all day and night. Definitely a scammer.Santander5 yearsThis actually is a real bank number (Santander). Check out my reply on 07380 307 825.Santander5 yearsThis number is actually an automated line from Santander about odd card activity. I was trying to buy something over the phone and the first try didn’t go through. On the second try it worked, but Santander called to make sure it was really me. Pretty decent service from a bank, if you ask me.Santander5 yearsIt was someone from Santander calling me.Santander5 yearsReceived a few messages from Santander about a dodgy charge on my credit card. I texted back saying I hadn’t made the purchase, and then this number called me straight away. I picked up, got put on hold for about 15 minutes, then the call dropped and I was told to ring back later. I ended up calling the number on the back of my card and spoke to someone real, who said they’d stopped the transaction and sorted a new card to be sent out.Santander5 yearsThis number rang me twice today. Both times I just ignored it. There was a recorded lady’s voice claiming to be from Santander, asking for me and telling me to press any button or call back. If Santander actually needed to talk about something important, they wouldn’t do it through a recording, would they? Seems like a scam to me, and could be risky. That’s why I’m reporting it.Santander5 yearsGot an automated call and they asked straight for me. Didn’t know the number so I checked with Santander and yeah, it’s legit. They were just checking on a transaction, which was valid. So, for me it was safe and genuine.Santander5 yearsGot a call at about half ten this morning, supposedly from Santander about Malwarebytes. Then got some texts on my O2 phone from what said it was Santander fraud team. The voice on the recorded message was a very posh English lady. Definitely a SCAM!Santander5 yearsI looked up our phone numbers on the TPS and it’s pretty clear these calls are coming from outside the UK. I’ve talked to Santander’s fraud team but they said they can’t act unless a fraud actually happens. I’ve also blocked all emails from Cleveridge through TSO now.Telephone Preference ServiceSantanderCleveridgeTSO5 yearsGot a call from Santander’s fraud team right after I replied to one of their fake payment alert texts. Felt a bit odd to say the least.Santander5 yearsIt was Santander calling. I hesitated to pick up after seeing what folks were saying here, but lucky I did, 'cause someone had copied my debit card and was happily trying to use my cash.Santander5 yearsLooks dodgy to me. Santander won’t share any details about the transaction unless you ring up their fraud team first.DodgySantander5 yearsBe careful, I definitely wouldn’t trust Santander bank with your money.Santander5 yearsSomeone pretending to be Santander called me, but when I phoned Santander directly on a normal number, they said they never make automated calls like that. The scammer definitely had quite a bit of my personal details, probably got it from one of those comparison sites?Santander5 yearsI HAVE A SANTANDER ACCOUNT. THIS NUMBER KEEPS CALLING AND IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE TRYING SOMETHING SUSPICIOUS. NO VOICEMAIL WAS LEFT EITHER. 0448082800301Santander5 yearsYeah, it's definitely Santander. I checked with them just to be sure and it’s all genuine.Santander5 yearsSCAM ALERT. Ignore what other folks are saying, this has nothing to do with Santander. I don’t even hold an account there. It’s just some dodgy scammers trying to steal your bank info.Santander5 years15/3/21 Got two calls on a Sunday morning, same thing both times, asking for DOB. I gave up when they asked for the day and month, then they just hung up. I don’t trust any recorded calls anymore. If it’s important, I want a real person to speak to me!5 yearsWasn't really sure about it, especially when they wanted my date of birth, so I just rang Santander myself. They couldn’t confirm if the call was legit or not, but they did say everything looked fine with my account.Santander5 yearsThe blue post from 10/02/20 clearly explains what steps to take if your bank gets in touch. You can’t trust any business phone number completely nowadays. Scammers have faked (cloned) pretty much every one of them and make millions in tax free cash tricking trusting people. Stay alert and think carefully before reacting. Make sure you report every scam call you get to the police via Action Fraud.BlueUKAction Fraud5 years0808 280 0301 kept ringing me loads of times with an automated voice asking about some dodgy card transactions. I rang up Santander’s fraud dept to check and it was legit. There was one charge I didn’t remember so I sorted a new card with them. So yeah, this was definitely a proper call from Santander and okay to trust.Santander6 years08082800301 rang me, said they were from Santander's fraud team about trying to use my card twice for the same amount. Seemed legit. They went through a couple of security checks with me, and I had to pick the right option from three they gave me to prove it was proper. Honestly, was quite impressed, but I did have a look at the reviews here beforehand.Santander6 yearsGot a voicemail from Santander asking me to verify some payments that might be fraudulent, turns out it was me trying to buy Cold War hahaSantander6 yearsThat number really is from Santander. I rang the number shown on my debit card (not this one) and Santander told me there was an attempted fraud. They cancelled my card and sent me a replacement.Santander6 yearsI’ve had 8 calls from 08082800301 just today (12th August 2020).6 yearsSantander gave me a ring 'cause they spotted a dodgy payment, wanted to double check with me :)Santander6 yearsGot a call from Santander bout a weird charge on my card, they just wanted my address to check. Really relieved they rang up, as I told them I didn’t know the transaction and they quickly blocked it, cancelled my card and sent a replacement.Santander6 yearsSantander fraud support line.Santander6 years08082800301 kept ringing me up about five times in like 4 hours. Got through once and the person said they were from Santander. When I went into the branch, they denied any of it. Just a heads up, be extra cautious with your personal info, banks don't call you up asking for that sorta stuff, usually it's scammers.Santander6 yearsBeen getting calls from this number all day, like 4 times in just 5 hours. The latest one was about 9.40pm. Definitely don’t trust it. I’ll ring up Santander first thing tomorrow to check.Santander6 yearsNever trust any call or message claiming to be from your bank. Scammers can fake every phone number from any bank. If you get a call, hear them out but don’t say or do anything, then hang up and make sure the line is clear. Afterwards, phone your bank using the number on your card or documents. Don’t ignore or delay as your account might need urgent attention. If you get scam calls, texts, or emails, report them: search for ‘action fraud’, select the ‘police.uk’ website, go to the reporting section and file it as a phishing attempt.
