I received a call from this number earlier. The call started as “this is is being recorded for safety and training purposes”. The conversation was very echoing which threw me off. They knew where my local branch was, then asked me to go on the Barclays app and confirm some info which apparently they sent (I did not by the way). Told them nothing had come through then they rushed off the phone. Scam!!!!
Received a strange call this morning from a man with African accent who claimed to be from Barclays and apparently we had had a meeting in November at my local branch .....not true..straightaway asked to confirm my date of birth, which I said “no thank you” and ended the call.
Starts with auto recording that the call might be recorded. Then a woman says she is from my local Barclays account and wants to speak to me about an offer that can benefit me as I"m registered as one of their local customers. I don't have a Barclays account. She won't say exactly what the call is regarding until she takes me through security, which requires my date of birth. I say I'm not comfortable disclosing that info and she says I'm right to be cautious as there are many scams going around
Call started with a recorded message saying it may be recorded for training purposes and then a woman asked to speak to me (had my full name), I said 'yes' and the line went dead. It didn't feel right.
SCAM - PRETENDING TO BE BARCLAYS. Called Barclays and they confirmed no call was made to me. They had my full name and then asked for my address details which I didn't give.
100% scam. Said from Barclays but sounded dodgy from first word spoke so I asked questions. Q: What office do you work in? A: I am working from home. Q: What office do you normal work in? A: Manchester Q: So why are you calling from a London number? Phone went dead. They had my full name and knew I had an account with Barclays. Now trying me daily
I received a text message saying they were trying to contact me regarding my Barclays account and that they would call back in an hour. When the call came through, my phone highlighted it as "potential fraud", and so I didn't answer. They didn't leave a message either.
FRAUD! FRAUD! FRAUD! FRAUD! FRAUD!
Mention they are calling from "Barclays Paddington" or Could announce your local banking branches. Do not give your personal details.
FRAUD! Mention they are calling from "Barclays Paddington" or Could announce your local banking branches (I live in Paddington). Do not give your personal details. Stay safe
Says they are from Barclays ... asks for personal information. Tries to reassure by saying we’re not scammers. If we were we would ask for you account number etc .. strange
