Shawbrook Bank

I just tried the telephone number on their website 0345 266 6611 and got a recorded message from another company, couldn't hear the name, then pressed 2 for savings and got the message repeated over and over again.  What is going on with them?

    I just tried the number, the recorded message says "Welcome to Shawbrook" and the usual "calls may be monitored for training  ....." etc

    Thanks very much for trying the number.  I tried it again and still got the Spam warning and the recorded message repeated.  When I checked on 'Who Called Me' it said it was primary linked with Bank Fraud and a lot of checks, over 800, but also 3 messages that said it worked to get through to Shawbrook.

    That'll be due to people receiving incoming calls from ne'er-do-wells spoofing the CLI to make it appear as though the call is from Shawbrook.
