A phone call from someone claiming to be from Barclays Fraud department requested my bank sort code and account number. Suspicious of the situation, I declined and promptly contacted Barclays' fraud hotline. To my surprise, the bank had no record of such a call and assured me that there were no issues with my account.

I got a call from what said to be Barclays fraud team, so I dialled them back. It was all automated though, like a machine from Barclays' fraud dept. No need to give out any account info, they just asked me if some recent payments were legit or not. Pretty straightforward really.

If you hold an account with Barclays and notice their number in your list of missed calls, it is advisable to call them back promptly. In case you do not, there is a possibility of your Barclays debit or credit card getting temporarily disabled as they require confirmation regarding the validity of recent transactions. I experienced this issue tonight, but thankfully, it was quickly resolved within a few minutes by verifying some details. Rest assured, you will not be asked to confirm any bank account or security numbers.

I've been getting calls around half a dozen times daily from this number. They leave a voicemail pretending to be from Barclays, but weirdly, they use a name that’s definitely not mine. I saved the number and then blocked it - hope that sorts it!

We received a text from this particular number, but we don't possess a Barclays debit card; thus, it is likely a scam.

It appears to be the fraud division of Barclays calling. You ought to return their call and adhere to the necessary security protocols. They’ll conduct a review of five transactions linked to your account, which may be handled automatically or by a representative, possibly located in India. Should you spot any unfamiliar transaction, make sure to mention it. They’ll proceed to block your card and issue a replacement, typically within three days. In my own experience, it seemed to be an international transaction that affected both me and my partner; however, the bank was uncooperative, which is what prompted the phone call in the first place. Moreover, if you happen to share an account, including any savings, with another person, they’ll likely receive a call too. You can verify this information on the official Barclays website.

I have been contacted twice by this particular phone number. Each time, an automated call claiming to be from Barclays Fraud was received, instructing me to press a number to proceed further. On both occasions, I hung up the phone without taking any action. Concerned about the legitimacy of these calls, I contacted Barclays directly and they directed me to their fraud department for assistance. Upon contacting Barclays, they confirmed that the calls were indeed from them. The reason behind these calls was that I had recently updated my PayPal account with my new card details, which I had received the previous day. Apparently, PayPal contacts the bank as a part of their verification process to ensure the accuracy of the card information provided. Due to this communication occurring internationally, it gets flagged as a potential fraud case. Therefore, in my situation, it turned out that the phone number used for these calls is legitimate.

Completely reliable. Presenting the Barclays Fraud Prevention service.

If you possess an account with Barclays, and you get a call from this particular number, I strongly urge you to answer it, as it may be significant. Alternatively, if you spot the number on your received call log, and if you hold a Barclays account, it would be advisable to return the call. Otherwise, you might discover that your Barclays debit or credit card has been temporarily deactivated as they await your confirmation regarding the authenticity of recent transactions.

I have received two text messages and two phone calls, one on my mobile and the other on my landline. However, now I am unable to hear a dial tone when using my landline. The individuals claiming to be from Barclays Fraud were the ones reaching out to me. I made sure not to respond to any of their attempts. Upon checking my account, everything seems to be in order. It's worth noting that these calls were automated in nature.

Genuine! When I attempted to make a substantial payment on my catalogue, it didn't go through. Later, I received a phone call from a number on my mobile, but I missed it. Fortunately, they left a voicemail and then I received a text from Barclays regarding fraud. The text offered the option to reply and everything was resolved smoothly. The voicemail conveyed the same information, confirming that it was indeed legitimate - from Barclays.

I received two phone calls from this number early in the morning, which prompted me to turn off my phone. However, they didn't stop there and proceeded to call my home phone and ask my mother to relay a message to me. As a result, she sent a text to my girlfriend, and I immediately contacted the bank. It appears that these phone calls might be legitimate since the bank had some transactions they wanted to discuss with me. Most of these transactions seemed to be related to iTunes, which is not a UK-based service, and an online gong purchase.

Today, my mother experienced a similar situation, and despite searching on Google, we found no information about the unidentified caller. As a precautionary measure, I advised her to refrain from answering any further calls from this number. It seems suspicious, and I believe there might be something amiss.
