Had 3 calls in the space of 2 weeks. 2 called the other day within the space of 30 seconds so I had 2 people on the line, I don't think either knew what I said as they just repeated they needed to go through some details regarding my account. I did mention I'd already spoken to someone previously about the same thing but didn't make any difference. I told them I was hanging up to call the bank. Called Barclays and they confirmed no one has tried to call me.
This phone number is NOT from Barclays Bank as they claim to be. I suggest you do NOT give them any personal information. I recommend cutting the call and doing what you can to block the number.
Having seen the fake reports on this page claiming the number is "safe", just... Don't trust everything you read online. If you're not sure, contact Barclays via their website or the app. You don't have to communicate through some random cold-call number.
Had this number call me out of the blue. Knew it was a scam but played him along. I don't even have any business with barclays which 1st alerted me. Got my name wrong and rather than ask my full date of birth for a security question was quite happy just to ask my age. Told him he should be ashamed of himself and hung him up and blocked number.
I am a staff member who has to do outbound calls to customers and this is the number that will show up. The calls are recorded for security and training purposes. We can't just start talking to whoever answers the phone incase it is not our customer. Therefore to safeguard us and the customer we would need some verification info to discuss anything specific to the account.
Spoke to them on this number today, line was clear and was someone from my village branch who I had actually spoken to whilst in there. Wasn’t a marketing call or anything untoward
You can go on Barclays official web site phone number checker. And it says it is their phone number. I have had bad experience with echo too. However it is safe to use if only would be possible understand what are they saying.
The number is from Barclays I called them back on their actual number and I had open ongoing case.. So is safe just only make sure Barclays can send you verification code sms or on the app
They say it’s dale from Barclays I gave my name and address nothing else when I said why do u need my birthday and what is it about they couldn’t tell me. I hung up and called Barclays they have no record of Barclays calling me so DONT GIVE THEM ANYTHING
Said they were calling from Barclays, Wanted my security details to be passed to the unknown to me caller for data protection reasons, Utter tools that have no grasp of how data protection works...
They seem like a phishing scam when they call, So be cautious because they are dangerous criminals hell bent on stealing your hard earned money in a fraudulent way or maybe they are not from the bank after all and are different criminals...
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
