A person called Lindsay left a message saying that she was calling on behalf of Barclaycard as they need to ship out a new card machine for #our business name# to keep us compliant. Call came from 01698 451135 and said to call 01698 840494. WARNING!! I contacted Barclaycard and they did not have a new machine for us, in fact we received new machines in October'25. Either this is phishing, or if they did install a new machine, would be able to take payments and send monies to their own account!!
