An expat from the Costa Blanca has been the attempted victim of a fraud.He received a letter from what appeared to be a bone fide company of debt collectors .They purported to be collecting debts for well known banks.
In this particular case the amount was not massive but the victim knew that the account had been cloded more than three years previously.He then called the Grupo Santander and informed them of the letter which he had received.They had no knowledge of it at all.They had never instructed a group of debt collectors to act on their behalf.
The advice is that if people receive such letters then they should either bin them or check the letter out with their bank.This particular victim has asked his bank to take action in order to safeguard themselves and their clients.
