Would you recognise a call from a scammer?

A scammer impersonating Santander called Russell and his team at Consolid8 Logistics. However, with our support, they had the right internal process in place to recognise something wasn’t right. Watch how Russell and his team dealt with the scammer.

Our advice to protect your business:

  • Don’t share passwords or security codes with anyone.
  • Don’t allow anyone remote access to your computers or devices.
  • If you receive contact out of the blue to say your account is at risk, hang up.
