    You need to bother a bit more:

    New card request from Santander,first one lost in post? Have you now had a second one? In which case the lost first one would be cancelled. 
    two phone calls to our unlisted home B.T, number .About what? Did you answer them?
    Two transactions for International Transfers Actual transactions or someone on the phone telling you there are transactions? Transactions by what means? Using card?
    ,usual ,press one,press two. Assume you're talking about the calls? But that sounds like an automated call, not a voice call?  Or are you ringing the number back? 
    Coming from Ripley phone number which shows numerous complaints of scams, Quoting the number would help, assume these are the calls you mention above? Just because a number has scam complaints doesn't mean it's a scam, genuine numbers also get reported if people don't recognise them or don't believe its the bank. Why not just ring the bank on a number you know is the bank.
    Anybody still getting them? still getting what?
