After receiving a text warning about possible fraudulent Santander card transactions, I was instructed to call the listed number. Verifying it on Santander’s website confirmed it as the genuine fraud department line. Some callers who claimed they were scammed appeared to have been reached from a cloned number, making it look authentic but it wasn’t – remember never to share PINs or passwords; that’s a clear sign of a scam.

Expert Opinion
Ever wondered why that familiar Santander‑sounding number keeps ringing? Most reports point to a scam operation masquerading as the bank’s fraud team, often using urgent language and asking for PINs or security codes. The safest route is to hang up, never disclose personal details, and contact Santander directly using the number on the back of your card or their official website. Consider flagging the caller in your phone’s spam settings and, if you’ve received suspicious texts, report them to Action Fraud. Regularly reviewing your account activity and enabling two‑factor authentication adds another layer of protection against these deceptive calls.

Terrible scammers! They sounded completely legit and I nearly fell for it. A woman phoned asking for three digits of my security code and part of my password. Thankfully my husband was nearby and told me to hang up when she called back. I might have handed over all my details without realising. These days we must stay extremely vigilant – the fraudsters won’t stop. I feel sorry for anyone less cautious than my husband – like myself. Stay safe, everyone.
Received two texts saying my card was declined for a food‑hub purchase and that I should call the number and give a three‑digit code to confirm. I was suspicious, so I contacted Santander directly and they confirmed it was legitimate. I called, and they’re sending a new card because the old one had been compromised. Checking the app showed the card was blocked and a replacement was pending. This is a genuine Santander fraud number – don’t label it a scam. Call the number on the back of your card to verify, rather than ignoring or blocking it.

A text message told my mum that eighty pounds had been taken from her account, citing "Dana Wharf". She doesn't have that amount, so it's clearly a scam; the message even used her bank’s pink number.
