Phone number ☎️ 08003891652 👆 is reported as a Barclays contact number associated with both genuine fraud alerts and extensive scam activity. While some users confirm legitimate calls warning them about suspicious transactions, many report sophisticated scams involving spoofing this number to impersonate Barclays fraud teams. Scammers often request personal and security details, urge use of banking apps or codes, and threaten account suspension. Barclays officially does not initiate calls from this number, advising customers to independently verify suspicious calls by contacting the bank directly through known official channels. Users are strongly warned against sharing any information or following instructions from unsolicited callers using this number, as it is frequently exploited by fraudsters to gain access to accounts and funds. Vigilance and direct verification with Barclays are essential.
Reports on phone number 08003891652
2 yearsSomeone rang me earlier saying they were with Barclays and mentioned there was a dodgy transaction on my account. They wouldn’t share any details though. They kept asking for my security info but when I asked what was going on, they told me to call 0800 389 1652 to verify them. Sounds a bit fishy to me.Barclays2 yearsI got a call from this number saying someone had spent £800 on Argos using my bank account. I didn’t give them any info and ended the call straight away. Then I checked with Barclays through their app. Definitely a scam call.ArgosBarclays2 yearsGot a call from this number about 30 minutes after Barclays fraud team stopped a payment on my app. They sent me confirmation alerts through the Barclays app and told me to verify them there before they could help with my problem.Barclays2 yearsBarclays Scam TeamBarclays ’ Fraud Investigation Unit2 yearsGot a phone call with a recorded voice (American accent) saying two payments went through on my Visa. Hung up and rang my bank to double-check. Turns out, no payments at all were made???3 yearsThey claimed to be representing Barclays Bank. Inquired about my sort code and then sent me off to various websites. I decided to end the call!Barclays Bank3 yearsGot a voicemail from a woman with a really thick foreign accent, saying she was from Barclays Fraud Department. She wanted us to ring her back on a different number, not the one she called from. Seemed a bit dodgy to me.Barclays Fraud Team3 yearsProb scammers - can’t really tell where they’re from with that accent.4 yearsThis is a genuine Barclays number, but when I got a call from their fraud team, it came from a different phone number. They left a voicemail asking me to ring back on 0800 389 1652. I’m certain it was Barclays fraud team calling as I was waiting for their call.Barclays4 yearsToday I got a call from someone claiming to be with Barclays. They tried to warn me about scams but then asked me to open my Barclays app and create a PINsentry code to share with them. I didn’t give it to them at all and hung up. Felt like a close call! Just be careful and don’t share any info with strangers like that.Barclays BankBarclays4 yearsScam! I wouldnt trust them at all!4 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Barclaycard saying there was suspicious activity on my account. The person mentioned some trial charges from Google, saying they were quite high amounts. Then they wanted to message me but insisted on doing it through my bank account, asking me to log in and create a code so they could send it. I said absolutely not and they just ended the call straight away.BarclaycardGoogle4 yearsBe careful, they sound really convincing and even use a Barclays phone number. Don’t give out any details about yourself or your bank account, it’s definitely a scam.Barclays4 yearsI got a call from a number that looked like it was from Barclays, but it wasn't really them. It's a proper sneaky scam, so don’t believe anything they tell you, even if they say the number is proof it’s Barclays. They’re just trying to trick you!Barclays4 yearsTotal scammers. They called claiming to be from Barclays Fraud Dept - seriously smooth con artists.Barclays Fraud4 yearsGot a call from Barclay, seems dodgy. Turns out it's connected to probiller.com, which is some kind of money laundering setup. Watch out!4 yearsThis bloke kept ringing asking for my mum but wouldn’t say who he was, claiming it was a 'private and sensitive' matter. I explained that I’m the appointed person for my mum’s affairs, but he just insisted on getting a phone number from me. After I blocked his number, he started calling from a withheld number instead. It’s a bit odd because he leaves voicemail messages that are blank except for the number he’s calling from. Quite strange, actually!4 yearsWatch out, this number is definitely a con.4 yearsSounded like some dodgy bloke, definitely not from the bank... total scammer vibes.4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Barclays fraud dept telling me there’s been dodgy activity on my debit card and that my account’s been frozen for security. Thing is, I don’t even have an account with Barclays!Barclays4 yearsHeads up, this one’s definitely not legit.4 yearsI received a call this morning from someone purporting to be from Barclays' fraud department. Could this be a dodgy setup?Barclays4 yearsI received a phone call earlier today purporting to be from Barclays, inquiring whether I recognised two recent transactions from ‘British Airways’ and ‘Amazon’. I replied with a firm ‘No’. I allowed them to continue, as they mentioned they could halt these payments but required some security checks. However, when they requested my account number, I declined to provide it. They persisted, and as I started to refuse more forcefully, they threatened to freeze all activity on my account and insisted I visit a local branch to have it reactivated. When I sought a number to call them back, the representative could only provide the one they had called from, which is utterly pointless. I’m choosing to disregard this as it seems like an elaborate scam. If Barclays genuinely wish to reach me, they can do so through a more credible channel.BarclaysBritish AirwaysAmazonNo5 yearsI got a call from someone pretending to be Barclays saying there was a payment attempt in Scotland on my account. They told me someone had added a new phone to my account and could access it. Then they said they were creating a new account for me and asked me to move all my money there. I knew this was a scam straight away and said no. I ended the call and rang Barclays using a different phone to check. Turns out, none of it was true - no payment had been tried in Scotland and no new phone was listed. If this was really Barclays calling, their number must have been faked.BarclaysScotland5 yearsBe careful, it’s a scam, don’t share any info!5 yearsNo way was that the Barclays fraud department!Barclays5 yearsThis number’s definitely faked.5 yearsImpersonating Barclays Bank, are we? Quite the cheeky move!Barclays Bank5 yearsThey said they were from Barclays but that’s totally wrong. I haven’t had a Barclays account in ages, so I knew straight away it was a scam. Blocked them instantly.Barclays5 yearsI had a call from this number and it pretended to be Barclays, but it’s definitely not them. Looks like a scam to me!Barclays5 yearsIf anyone says there’s been fraud on your account, don’t trust them straight away. Hang up and ring Barclays directly to check if it’s true. Better to be safe than sorry!Barclays5 yearsI tend to ignore calls from unknown numbers. This one rang a few times but never bothered to leave any voicemail. Usually, if it's Barclays fraud team, they leave a message straight away. Seems dodgy, so I’ve blocked it.Barclays5 yearsWatch out for this one. Even though the number they used looks like a real Barclays contact, it wasn’t actually them ringing me. Scammers can fake phone numbers to make it seem genuine. They pretended to be from Barclays fraud department and claimed they’d spotted dodgy activity on my account. They called me twice before, but on the third call, they told me there was suspicious behaviour going on and somehow managed to get my info while moving money out of my savings. It all felt so real. Barclays have since told me it wasn’t their call at all.Barclays5 yearsI just got a call from Barclays Fraud Dept - it seemed legit to me.Barclays5 yearsThis is totally a scam call.5 yearsSomeone rang me saying they were from the Barclays fraud department, asking for my personal info and talking about some switch guarantee. They said they’d sort out a new card and open a fresh account just to move my savings to my main account. I wasn’t convinced so I said I’d think about it and put them on hold to check the number on this app and skimmed through the reviews. Ended up hanging up and calling the bank directly from the app. They told me to always use the official app and never share my details. Also flagged that number as suspicious.Barclays5 yearsSomeone called saying they were from Barclays fraud dept, asking if I’d added a new payee recently. The voice was really strange, sounded like some sort of robot or automated system.Barclays5 yearsJust a heads up, this number (apparently Barclays fraud dept) was used by scammers pretending to be legit. They spoofed the number easily. Sadly, my mate got scammed out of £800 because of it. Watch out, folks!Barclays5 yearsSomeone claimed to be from Barclays fraud department.Barclays5 yearsSomeone said it was Barclays fraud dept calling me.Barclays6 yearsTotally sketchy, just spammers going about their business. Risky stuff for sure.6 yearsHeads up! Even tho the number says Barclays, they will never ring you from this one. Looks like scammers have copied it and are using it to try and trick people. So don’t trust calls from this line!Barclays6 yearsIf you get a call from this number, it's not Barclays, they never ring from it. It's definitely a scam, be careful!Barclays6 yearsIf you get a call from this number claiming to be Barclays, it's definitely not them. This number has been copied by scammers trying to trick you. Beware!Barclays6 yearsThis number isn’t Barclays at all, it’s been cloned. They pretend to be from Barclays but it’s just not true. I ended up losing all my savings and the money in my current account because of them.Barclays6 yearsJust a heads up, use your common sense with this one. It’s not some super clever scam but it could definitely trick people who aren’t paying much attention!6 yearsRight, so someone rang me from what looked like a proper Barclays number claiming to be from their fraud department. They ended up tricking me and drained my current and savings accounts. Seems they've somehow copied the Barclays number to make it look legit. Please, don’t tell them any personal info! I’ve already informed the bank and the fraud team is handling it now, but unfortunately, the money’s gone.6 yearsI’ve had a few calls claiming to be Barclays from their support lines, but Barclays themselves confirmed these numbers are only for customers to ring them, not the other way round. They even told me the security team doesn’t call out like that. I got three calls from what looked like official Barclays numbers, but it was definitely scams. Best thing to do is just hang up, and if you’re unsure, phone your bank back using a different phone. Honestly, never share personal details with anyone who calls you out of the blue saying they’re from your bank or any service. Use common sense!Barclays6 yearsA dodgy caller rang me asking for my bank details and other personal info. When I requested some proof they were legit, they just ended the call straight away.6 yearsGot a ring from 0800 3891652 claiming to be NatWest, but the phone number actually linked to Barclays. They were saying there was dodgy activity on my account and asked me to use my card reader to verify it, but I said no. When I turned them down again, the caller just ended the call. I then got in touch with my bank's genuine fraud department to inform them. Watch out for this number - it's clearly faked.NatwestBarclays6 yearsthey just cut off the call and didn’t say anything at all10 yearsRather than dialing this number, it would be wise to contact your card fraud department, which you can find on the back of your card or in your bank statements. Please steer clear of calling this number, as it’s likely to be associated with scammers themselves. If you receive a call from this number, it’s likely that the scam has already gone ahead-better to be cautious!10 yearsI received a new card a few weeks back, and I can confirm this was an AUTHENTIC number, absolutely no scammers involved! When we initially made the call, they did request our card number, but they never asked for sensitive details like the expiration date or our legitimate sort code and CV2. In fact, we didn't disclose our names or any other identifying information - you'd need to if it were a scam operation. Upon providing the number, they seemed to already know who we were. So, it's crystal clear that 08003891652 is indeed LEGIT! I'm not quite sure what the person above was on about, to be honest.10 yearsHi K, when you were with Barclays, that certainly wasn't the appropriate manner to address your clients.Barclays11 yearsI gave that number a bell earlier today, and I can confirm it's absolutely legit. We used our card for a takeaway last night, and it seems like someone’s been trying to make hefty transactions on our account today. Hats off to Barclays for acting promptly!Barclays11 yearsReceived a phone call from someone claiming to be from the 'Barclays Scam Department', asking for my partner. They were rather vague and refused to share specifics since we aren’t the primary account holder. They requested that I relay a message to have my partner ring the number back. I took the precaution of verifying the number through this website, and I appreciate the resource! As it turns out, she was scammed out of £500. It’s quite unsettling, as I’m puzzled over how these crooks managed to get her information. This has definitely shaken my confidence in online shopping! I recommend everyone gets on the phone to that number straight away!Barclays Scam Department11 yearsThis number isn't trustworthy at all, so for heaven's sake, don't share any details with them! If you receive a dodgy call from someone claiming to be your bank or if anything else seems off, it's quite possible that your card's security might have been compromised. Make sure you cancel your card right away and request a new one. Stay safe!11 yearsI received a call from the number 01604520082, and they left a rather peculiar voicemail advising me to contact Barclays' fraud detection at 08003891652. Strangely, they seemed to know my name, but offered no other information. I’ll keep you updated once I ascertain the legitimacy of this call.Barclays11 yearsWe unfortunately let a call slip by, and the voicemail we retrieved urged us to get back in touch with that number. It struck me as quite credible, but what raised my eyebrows was their request for just the card number-mind you, you'd normally need so much more like the expiry date to accomplish anything! They seemed to have an unsettling amount of access to our card activity and even some personal details like our names and dates of birth. It’s a bit alarming how well-informed they appeared to be; it makes one wonder if they’re actually genuine or part of something dodgy.11 yearsI’d recommend giving this number a go; they really seemed credible. They knew all about the three legitimate transactions I’d completed earlier, which is definitely not something a scammer would know. Quite reassuring, if you ask me!11 yearsThis afternoon, we received a call from this number and have dedicated nearly an hour trying to unravel the mystery behind it, chatting with various teams at Barclaycard. In the end, Barclaycard confirmed that this number is definitely not one of theirs. It appears we’ve been targeted by a fraudulent caller. They assured us that they would look into the matter further.Barclaycard11 yearsWe received a letter featuring the 0800 number, and our first instinct was to think it’s a scam. As a precaution, we rang up Barclays straight away. After only a few moments of digging into our details, they confirmed that the correspondence was legitimate and indeed from their fraud team. It turned out a warning was placed on our card because of some unusual transactions. It really goes to show, though, it’s always wise to scrutinise such letters, just to be on the safe side.Barclays11 yearsI had a chat with these folks today, and it was rather eye-opening. They seemed to know exactly what we’d been up to on a specific date (I’m currently abroad). Their tone felt quite sincere, but they mentioned some transactions supposedly occurring in San Francisco, which raised a few eyebrows since we’re based in the UK. As a precaution, they’ve gone ahead and cancelled our card. I’ll keep everyone updated if anything further comes of this! ~_~San FranciscoUK12 yearsA few weeks back, I received a new card and had the experience of dealing with what turned out to be a LEGITIMATE number - definitely not a bunch of fraudsters! When we first called, the representatives did inquire about our card number, but they didn't ask for any sensitive details like our valid card expiry or CVV, nor did we share any bank details or even our name. You see, for scammers to pull anything off, they would need that kind of essential information. The moment we mentioned our number, they seemed to know who we were straight away! So, I can firmly say that 08003891652 is the real deal! Not quite sure what that other commenter was on about, to be honest.12 yearsI experienced something similar just today, and it turned out to be a legitimate call. I had conducted two sizable transactions to the same location, which was rather out of the ordinary for me. I didn't engage with the caller or return the call to the number they provided; instead, I opted to contact Barclays directly using a number I retrieved from their official website. A big thank you to Barclays for their unwavering vigilance!Barclays12 yearsWe received a voicemail quite similar to this one. Rather than calling the number provided, we opted to contact Barclays directly and asked to be transferred to the security team to safeguard against any potential fraud. During this call, they confirmed a prior attempt to reach us and clarified why the call had been made (it turns out that certain purchasing activities had set off an alert). Our debit card was temporarily frozen for about fifteen seconds. In summary, while this does not appear to be a scam, it’s prudent to refrain from dialling the number left on our voicemail as it has proven that we’re not at risk.Barclays12 yearsThis number is definitely NOT associated with Barclays! I reckon all those favourable reviews are likely written by the fraudsters themselves. Please, keep your personal information under wraps, and if you ever find yourself on the receiving end of a phishing call, it's crucial to CANCEL your card immediately. Don’t take any chances-just get a new one. Your safety comes first!Barclays12 yearsI received a call from this number just moments after placing an order on Amazon. It was rather unsettling, as they seemed to have details about my recent transaction. When I called them back, they only asked for my card number and were quite adept at pinpointing my location related to the order. It all felt very suspicious, to say the least.Amazon12 yearsAbsolutely, it’s the real deal! 😊 If you're ever uncertain, just give the number on the back of your card a ring.12 yearsWe had to linger on the phone for a short while, but eventually, we confirmed with the staff at Barclays that this is indeed their legitimate number. It would be a real boon if they could publish this kind of information online, making it much simpler for folks to verify. In these times, one really has to be cautious, doesn’t one?BarclaysSubmit Your Own Report (0800 389 1652)
