It seems that Barclays’ scam protection is raising a few eyebrows. They've asked us to provide the details of the other person linked to our joint account, but we don't have that information. This whole situation feels a bit dodgy, to say the least.

Absolutely! We received a call from them last night, and remarkably, they managed to sort out our account this afternoon. I think we might just curtail our online shopping escapades for a while! :)

Just had a call from the Barclaycard fraud division. They mentioned they’d be getting in touch again shortly.

We got in touch with the fraud team at Barclays. Before they could spill the beans, we threw some questions their way! Just like the others, we wanted to get to the bottom of that suspicious transaction.

We can confirm that it’s indeed the fraud department of Barclays. A couple of straightforward questions and everything’s sorted out nicely. 😉

I received a call from this number on my home phone. When I redialed using our Barclays online banking service, they promptly directed me to their scam department. Initially, I decided to look up the number online, which led me to a host of other people's remarks. It turns out that the call was legitimate, as they were merely verifying some suspicious transactions.

Barclays’ fraud prevention services were rather satisfactory in my experience. They flagged our debit card due to some substantial transactions made over several weeks as we were attempting to purchase a vehicle. There were indeed a few security concerns, but after a brief chat to review the transactions, they swiftly reinstated the card. All in all, I found them quite helpful during the process.

I suspect this might be one of those Barclays scam alerts. If you're ever unsure, it's best to ring the official Barclays number listed on their website and verify if that number belongs to them. Always better to check!

Received an identical call, with the caller asking for my home address. I asked for a contact number to return the call and they provided 08000158601. I dialled that number and waited for what felt like an eternity-around six minutes-before someone finally answered. They proceeded to ask me a series of security questions, one of which was rather peculiar: "Which Indian country did we visit in November?" That particular question made me feel more at ease, confirming that I was indeed speaking to someone from Barclays. Thankfully, my card is now all sorted and operational once more.

I can confirm that this is indeed the scam department. I received a voicemail urging me to ring this number back, but opted to contact the main Barclays support line instead for peace of mind. Turns out, my card was frozen because of some suspicious transactions (curse those pesky Doritos!).

I can confirm that this is indeed the fraud division of Barclays. I reached out to their main customer service, and they validated the legitimacy of this contact. Since it’s an 0800 number, I can assure you that anyone who finds themselves caught up in lengthy scam inquiry calls isn’t incurring any charges. It’s a good thing to be aware of!

This number appears to be legitimate. If you receive a call from it, or if you're asked to call back, don't hesitate to do so and address any issues you might have. It’s possible that there’s a hiccup with a recent transaction, or perhaps you might be dealing with identity theft. Better to be safe and check it out!

We can confirm that we are truly from the Barclays Fraud Department. Just a couple of quick questions, and we’ll have everything sorted out in no time! ;)

I received a call from this number earlier today, and it definitely felt like a scam. The individuals on the line claimed to be from Barclays' fraud department, but I rang Barclays myself and found out that they don’t use any 0800 numbers for such purposes. If in doubt, always refer to the contact numbers on Barclays’ official website. Whatever you do, don’t share any personal information with this number; they even requested my 16-digit card number and security details, which is something no legitimate bank would ever do!

The number turned out to be legitimate. We decided to ring it and discovered that they were already in possession of our information. Following that, we reached out to Barclays customer support and asked to be connected to their fraud department. It was there that they confirmed it was indeed them who had reached out to us. It's always wise to double-check these things, as it’s far better to be cautious than to face potential regrets down the line.

We got a call from what seemed to be the Barclays fraud team. We decided to ring them back and took control of the conversation by tossing a handful of our own questions their way! They were acting just like the rest, wanting to verify a rather odd transaction. Just doing our due diligence, you know!

I must say, we’ve had a similar encounter with this number and it definitely feels off. After reaching out to our bank's legitimate fraud team, they confirmed that these folks are nothing but a scam. They advised against sharing any personal details, as they’re likely fishing for information they shouldn't need in the first place. So, my advice to everyone is to be cautious and always verify with the genuine representatives before engaging with any claims. Stay safe and keep your wits about you!

We received a call from this number, and it certainly seemed a bit dodgy. Out of caution, we contacted Barclay to verify it, and they confirmed it’s an unidentified number. So, one must exercise caution-especially since they reached out to us at 7:48 in the evening! Makes you wonder why someone would ring at that hour, doesn’t it?

Barclays' scam protection services were quite satisfactory for me. My debit card was temporarily frozen after I made several cash withdrawals over a couple of weeks to purchase a vehicle. However, I had a few security questions thrown at me, and after a quick review of my transactions that only took a matter of minutes, they swiftly reactivated my card without any hassle.

Greetings! We've recently received a call from this number regarding some activity on our bank card. The callers asked us a security question pertaining to our landline number. However, we opted to ask for their number instead so we could return the call later. We then reached out to Barclays' general enquiries, who transferred us to their fraud department. They asked us three security questions and confirmed that the call was indeed legitimate.
