Santander has also issued the following caution to customers: “Your capital is at risk and you may get back less than you invest. Investments should be held for the medium to long term, typically for at least 5 years or more.”
The statement warned: “Protect yourself against fraud and scams. Never share a Santander One Time Passcode (OTP) with another person. Not even a Santander employee. Never move your money to a new account for security reasons. If you’re asked to do this, it will be a scam.”
Santander advised account holders: “Never take things at face value. Criminals pretend to be people you trust. Always make sure you really know who you’re talking to.”
