One of our Borough resident's received an SMS message yesterday headed
"SANTENDER.
J M....... was added successfully as a payee https://sanukremove.com (*)
Review if this was not you."
He does not even bank with Santander (misspelt in text). He reported it and alerted Bexley Borough Neighbourhood Watch Association (BBNWA) to warn others as it is doing the rounds again.
