DAMGER! Super scam, sounded very genuine. private number initially and called twice in succession. He said announced as from the BC fraud dept and Flagged a suspicious transaction which they said they declined and were sending a text message to confirm it was me and asked for the code....the text message they sent was the one with code to confirm the transaction. Dangerous and sophisticated - beware always hangup and call Barclaycard yourself if unsure.
this number contacted both my mobile number and landline to discuss barclaycard fraud activity 4 times today. i did not carry out any of their instructions and put the phones down. i suspect this is all a scam. 4 July 2026
Scammers pretending to be Barclaycard. Called mobile, left voice messages, text messages, called landline. Wanted me to press assortment of numbers to legitimise spending or fraud. Checked barclaycard account, no problems listed. Ignored, blocked and deleted number.
Claimed to be Barclaycard reporting suspicious activity on my account. Don't think it is genuine but will ring the number on my card later.
Scam, claiming to be Barclays noting fraud on my account. But they called my work number which Barclays don't have and Barclays don't use this 0333 number
This number is a scam.
I received a call from this number within minutes of my Barclaycard being declined. However , my phone makes it as possible SPAM. Therefore, I believe that this is a genuine call from Barclaycard.
Barclaycard scam, when I didn't answer they tried to call the landline.
