I've spotted a charge on my bill associated with the number 09001231234, indicating a call lasting 18 minutes and 09 seconds. However, I can't seem to remember actually making this call at all. It's rather puzzling!

I rang Santander to flag some dodgy dealings on my credit card, and was told to call back again. To my surprise, I ended up racking up over £14 in charges just for that call! I really don't understand how they can question this when it’s clearly stated in their recorded message.

I received a call from this number, and now Virgin Media seems to be attempting to charge me for something. Quite perplexing, isn’t it?

It appears there's a bit of confusion regarding the Santander contact number, particularly with the "9" in the 0800 9 123 123 format. If one merely dials 0800 123 123, they inadvertently connect to Goldennumbercompany.com, who are well aware of the mistake. Their automated response clarifies that they're not affiliated with Santander and instructs you to call the 0900 123 1234 number instead – a call that will set you back a hefty £0.65 per minute! And just as a heads up, that 0900 number is, in fact, a premium rate line. Now, you do ultimately reach Santander, but here's the million-pound question: who actually owns the 0900 123 1234 number? Is it Santander, or is it still Goldennumbercompany.com reaping the rewards? It seems quite unfair that Santander hasn’t taken steps to shut down such an arrangement! Who’s pocketing the cash from that 0900 number, anyway?

Absolutely bonkers! Just noticed a £16.50 charge, and it’s like no one’s bothered at all. Think it’s high time I switch banks! The number is 09001231234.

I rang up Santander and was greeted by an automated message instructing me to dial 09001231234.

I just got off the phone with Santander, and I noticed they're now charging for their premium number. What on earth is happening? How is BT still permitting this nonsense after all these years?

I've noticed a charge exceeding £36 on my bill for calling this number, yet it's nowhere to be found on my call records.

Honestly, save your breath! They simply hang up as soon as you pick up! I've had a barrage of calls from them today, yet not a single message left behind. It's utterly pointless dealing with these folks. I'd recommend just blocking the number, mates!

I found myself in a bit of a pickle when I attempted to ring up Santander’s helpline at 08009123123. Instead of a friendly voice, I was met with an infuriating automated message instructing me to call 09001231234 for proper assistance. Naturally, I decided against that route and hung up. I then used a separate phone to ring the official number once more, and thankfully, this time I was connected directly to Santander. I relayed my experience regarding the odd automated message, and to my surprise, they acknowledged that they're aware of this unsettling scam. Quite concerning, to say the least!

I've just received my latest bill, and I see this number listed as a non-geographic one. It's nothing short of a scam, accompanied by a premium charge. Just a heads-up to all!

I've recently discovered a charge of £7.57 for a call I made to Santander on 0800 912 3123. Curiously, my call seems to have been rerouted to a dodgy 0900 number, yet it somehow connects you to Santander in the end. I've reached out to Virgin Media, but they’ve flat out rejected my request for a refund and still expect me to cough up the cash. It's outrageous that such fraudulent practices are still happening, especially considering the number of complaints that have already been raised about this.

I attempted to get in touch with Santander earlier today and they sent me off to the number 09001231234. Just a heads up, avoid this number at all costs! It’s a premium rate line, and people are reporting charges soaring between £30 and £50. Instead, dial 08009123123 for customer service. If that number appears and it’s engaged, just hang up and keep trying; it seems to be a bit hit or miss whether you get through.

I recently attempted to contact Santander and was unexpectedly guided to this number. When I inquired with the bank, they appeared to have no knowledge of it, but they assured me they’d escalate the issue to their fraud team.

I recently dialled 0800123123, only to be transferred to 09001231234. Thankfully, I did a quick search first and avoided calling the latter. Honestly, these scammers really ought to face legal action for their underhanded tactics!

I've just discovered that I've been hit with a bill of £34.18 for a phone call, and I am absolutely livid about it! What a rip-off!

Taking advantage of Santander!

I had no clue that I’d be hit with a £35 fee! I’m absolutely fuming. And to top it off, it turned out to be a premium rate call. What a rip-off!

I attempted to contact Santander using their banking helpline (0800 9 123 123), only to discover that the line has been discontinued. The new number they provided is 0900 123 1234, and it comes with a hefty charge of 65 pence per minute. They requested my entire five-digit security code, but when that failed, I was prompted for my ID number which I entered. At that point, I started feeling uneasy, so I decided it was best to hang up. I'm off to call the bank directly now. 😑😣

Absolutely infuriated! Just had £42 siphoned off by Santander, and it seems they couldn't care less. I've been a loyal customer of Abbey National for nearly half a century, and I've had my mortgage with them throughout that time. I'm now considering switching banks, but honestly, which ones are actually trustworthy these days? It’s a right conundrum!

I attempted to get in touch with Santander using this number and found myself waiting endlessly on hold. They ended up charging me £15.00 for that call, which seems a bit steep!

I can't believe I just got charged £19 for a 24-minute call! I'm utterly baffled as to who it could be that rang my landline. It's quite infuriating, really.

I received a call from this number once, and they left a voice message claiming to be from Santander, so I thought it wise to store it on my phone for any future reference. Later on, I found myself in need of Santander’s customer support and rummaged through my contacts to ring them up. To my dismay, that call turned out to be a con! I can't recall the specifics of the conversation, only that I was kept on hold for what felt like an eternity before being shifted (likely by the fraudsters) to what I thought was the correct Santander line. I distinctly remember having to press various buttons and being put back in a queue. TAKE HEED! Always navigate to the official Santander website to find their genuine contact numbers.

I ended up shelling out £30 for that.

I got scammed out of forty quid!

I can't believe I've been billed £45 for that call...!!! What a shocker!

My elderly mother, who is 86, was tricked into calling this number not once, but twice on the 20th of August, racking up a bill of £7.48.
