08001512165 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08001512165 👆 is reported as a genuine automated service from Barclaycard fraud prevention team, designed to confirm suspicious transactions by asking for basic verification like birthdate and name confirmation. While many users confirm its authenticity following real fraud alerts, others express unease due to the unusual request for personal details and repeated calls, especially after card cancellation. The number is not listed on Barclaycard’s official website, causing suspicion among some recipients. It’s advised not to ignore such calls outright but to verify their legitimacy by contacting Barclays directly via the number on the back of your card. Persistent calls and unclear identity may also indicate potential scam activity, so caution and prompt communication with Barclays are essential.

This number is legit and is used to check for any dodgy transactions on your Barclaycard. When you call, an automated system asks you to pick your birth date from some options, then it wants you to verify if the suspicious transaction was really made by you. If you say it was an okay payment and not fraud, they don’t do anything else and your card gets unlocked.

Got a recorded message saying it was a "fraud prevention call from Barclays" and told me to press any key to continue. Seemed a bit fishy to me.

It seems this number really belongs to Barclaycard. I received an automated call claiming to be from them, requesting that I press a key to confirm if my name matched what they had. It quickly escalated to them needing to verify my identity by asking for my date of birth, which raised my suspicions and prompted me to disconnect the call. I later discovered it was indeed from Barclaycard after my card was refused a few days later, leading to a conversation with the fraud department. However, their website clearly states they would NEVER request such sensitive information!

Today, I received a rather dodgy automated phone call from 08001512165 claiming there was some fraudulent activity on my Barclaycard. The call started off by requesting that I press one if my name matched what they had on record, and then they went on to ask for my date of birth. It was then that I decided enough was enough and promptly ended the call. According to Barclaycard's official site, they categorically state that they will never reach out via email, text, or phone to ask for any verification of account or security information. Quite alarming, really!

I got a legit automated phone call from the “Barclaycard Fraud Team” asking if I’d recently attempted to pay over £800 for heating oil. I had tried, but the payment didn’t actually go through because it was held back until confirmed legit. They said I’d be able to use my account again in like 5 minutes after that.

Don't just dismiss calls you get pretending to be from your bank. Sometimes it’s legit, other times it’s just some scammer faking the bank’s number. You’re never completely certain. Best thing to do is ring your bank directly using the number on your card. Usually, after putting in some details, they’ll let you chat to a proper person. Better safe than sorry!

I'm not sure if this call was a scam or legit. I gave the other contact numbers from Barclays site a go, but couldn't get through past the robot messages.

They’ve phoned me about four or five times already and just won’t give up. If someone less careful picks up, they could end up losing cash to these fraudsters. On the last call, I pretended to go along with it, even gave them wrong details on purpose, but they kept pushing anyway. They really don’t know when to stop.

Got a call from an automated voice claiming to be from Barclaycard fraud team, said they’d help me sort out some security issue. I just ended the call though. Now my card is blocked since I attempted a purchase, so maybe it was real after all? Bit puzzled here.

This number has rung me 4 times within a day. I looked up the digits and some sites say it might be Barclays, but I can't see this number anywhere on their official list. The voice sounds like a robot or recorded message, but it messed up the first letter, saying "G" instead of "J". For now, I've just blocked it since it seems dodgy and probably a scam.

Been getting calls nonstop today, started around 8am and they kept ringing until like 8.30pm. Proper annoying especially when I’m waiting on a hospital to ring back and being disabled makes it a real pain just trying to answer. Loads were Barclays card calls, but lucky for me I don’t even have one. Bet some folks might fall for it though, some woman named Linda Waltarney or something? So frustrating grrrr!

I got a voicemail from 08001512165 that began with: "Hello, we want to protect you from fraud. Press any key to start some security checks." It didn’t say it was Barclaycard right away, only after I waited and didn’t press anything did it say, "This is Barclaycard." Honestly, Barclays Fraud Team didn’t do themselves any favours - it left me pretty worried since this card replaced one that was hacked in a phishing scam just a few weeks ago. By the way, this number isn’t on the Barclaycard site anywhere.

Received a call purporting to be from Barclays regarding suspected fraudulent activity on my card. They asked me to press 1 to proceed, but I decided it was best to hang up instead.

Got a message saying it’s from Barclays fraud team. Weird thing is, the account they mentioned belongs to my son, but they kept ringing my phone. Not quite sure what’s happening here.

I've received four calls from this number today-three on my mobile and one on my home phone. Each time I picked up, I responded with a cheeky "p**s off," hoping they'd catch that on their end.

I have a strong suspicion that this operation is merely a ploy to construct a database, collecting misleading 'permission' to include individuals on their lists. It appears they're attempting to compile an entire roster of phone numbers to associate them with personal profiles.

I've had this number ring me thrice today already (and it's only 4 o'clock - I can only imagine more calls to come!). Each time, an automated voice mentioned my wife's initials along with her last name, then prompted me to press any button to proceed. Naturally, we decided to hang up each time!
