My answer phone plays my recording: something to the effect that, “leave a message ….. will get back to GENUINE callers …… if you’re try to sell something or some other kind of nuisance call, won’t be contacted! “ No message left; so I deleted the number!!!!!!!😀
Said they were from Barclays Fraud team and wanted to talk about a fraudulent attack my mother in law's account which I have power of attorney. The person wanted to talk me through security question. I told them to get lost.
I didn't answer because I wasn't expecting a call from anyone in London. I note other comments that this is a scam which impersonates Barclays Business Banking and it seems quite a coincidence that I had approved a payment from a Barclays Business account the day before, something I only do every few months. Other comments report similar experiences and it makes me wonder...
definatly a scammer hug up and informed bank.
Just had a call on my mobile, didn't answered it, as I didn't recognise it, and then the number came up on my works number! Which I work for the NHS and left a message from Barclays Bank and to call them back, I don't even bank for them and the sound off the background of the doesn't sound like a call centre, it was very echo sound, like she calling from somewhere else?
Legit Barclays fraud team. I confirmed this by calling the official number..I was directed to my app and was convinced from here. It's just to check payments you made. Not wise to have no business name these days associated with your number. Well inconvenient
An Indian lady called me on my mobile number and said she was from Barclays fraud department and wanted to confirm some details. I said ok but she then asked if I could log in to my app. I started to get suspicious and asked her to verify a few things to which she answered she could not give me details until she had verified me!! So we were in a catch 22 situation. She asked me to call the number on the back of my card. I know that these numbers can be cloned so I ended the call.
Mohammed pretending to be from Barclays Fraud Team. He wanted me to go through "some security questions". Before I answered I asked him to answer my security questions. "What is the amount amount held in my two Barclays current accounts"? He said he couldnt do that. I then blocked the number.
someone rang didnt answer sent a voice mail Very difficult to Hear and understand
Yesterday, caller said she was from Barclays Bank and then wanted me to answer security questions. I said how do I know you are for real. She said she was going to send a notification to Barclays app but that failed. Haven't heard since.
Called and left no message. Strangely, I had been in touch with Barclays earlier regarding a business account. I have heeded the above messages and blocked the number.
no message left. clearly a scamming service
no message left.
Said we’re from Barclays I called Barclays through my app they told me to block the number and be wary as Barclays is being used a lot at the moment in potential scams
Called me twice, sounded very unprofessional and very bad line which made it hard to hear what the guy was saying. He hesitated a lot when challenged. Be cautious
