Santander dish out advice to MP on avoiding fraud

Sefton Central MP Bill Esterson has had his chips courtesy of Santander’s fraud

prevention team.

The MP and shadow Business Minister visited Santander’s “phish and chips”

van to tuck into some tasty fries and learn how to avoid online and text bank

scams.

Mr Esterson praised the bank’s unique way of helping to educate the public

about the danger of losing money due to phishing.

He said: "It's incredibly important that customers understand how dangerously

easy it is to be defrauded online or on the phone.

"I'd encourage people to find out the steps they can take to protect themselves.

“Well done to Santander for coming up with such an innovative and unique idea

for getting this message across. I was especially pleased to support this

campaign in the centre of Liverpool, especially as Santander are one of our

biggest employers.”

Reza Attar-Zadeh, Head of Customer Experience at Santander UK, added:

“Santander takes the fight against fraud very seriously – and we were delighted

to have Bill Esterson's support. We have seen the life changing impact fraud can

have on people’s lives.

“Consumer awareness is absolutely key to tackling what is currently one of the

biggest threats to the security of people’s finances.

“Our Phish & Chips van is a way of delivering our three key fraud prevention

messages in an engaging way while educating people that both banks and

consumers have a role to play in keeping the fraudsters at bay.”
