I have just received an SMS that looks very like a scam purporting to be from Santander. It says my account has been block, click on this, blah blah. I am treating it as a scam.
Anyone else received something similar?
Cheers.

I got one today from BBVA. Obviously a scam as I don't have an account with them. I deleted it, Be careful with messages from courier companies as well

The quickest and easiest way to check if it's a scam is to look closely at the email sender !

Any calls with Indian accents tell them to send you a letter in normal mail. Any emails just delete.
