60179 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 60179 👆 is reported as a mixed and contentious contact number associated with Barclays. Some users confirm it as a legitimate SMS contact from Barclays, used mainly for appointment bookings and service updates, often verified through the Barclays app for added security. However, many report it as a scam or phishing attempt due to suspicious premium-rate charges, requests to reply with personal information, and odd messaging style, including generic greetings and inaccurate details. Concerns include the use of a premium rate number, unexpected contact method, and messages spoofed by fraudsters. If contacted, customers are strongly advised to verify any communication directly with Barclays using the official number on their bank card, avoid replying to unsolicited texts, and remain vigilant against potential phishing scams.
Reports on phone number 60179
2 monthsGot a message like this myself, never came across it before. Looking at all the negative feedback here, I'd probably steer clear just to be on the safe side. Some of the glowing reviews sound a bit fishy, with people claiming things like “100% safe” and “Top-notch service” without explaining why they think so. Even someone saying “Legit Barclays” without any proper proof made me suspicious. I just flagged it as spam and got rid of it.6 monthsI got a text from 60179 saying something like "Hi xxx, we reached out in July to tell you about some better savings interest rates you haven't taken advantage of yet. If you want to chat about it, reply yes and we'll ring you in the next five working days. Barclays team." This is a total scam, it’s NOT from Barclays at all. Do not reply or call back that number. Just delete the message and forget about it.7 monthsSpam overload! Got a bunch of messages claiming to be from Barclays, but trust me, they're dodgy. Definitely steer clear - this is some seriously risky spam stuff. Not legit Barclays at all.Barclays8 monthsSomeone said they were from Barclays, but looked just like the messages others have mentioned here. Definitely the same kind of thing.Barclays8 monthsA message popped up saying they'd reached out back in July about better interest savings I might be missing. I didn't recognise the number or get any other details, and the message just felt off, so I ended up deleting it. After seeing what others said, I’m glad I didn’t respond.8 monthsGot a call claiming it was Barclays, trying to trick me into replying “yes”. They said they had been in touch before, but it’s obviously a scam. Don’t fall for it!Barclays10 monthsGot a text saying they’ll ring me in a week, but I’m not really trusting that it’s safe or anything, so I’m just gonna ignore it and not bother replying.1 yearI wouldnt bother calling them back.1 yearGot a call saying it was Barclays, but looks dodgy so I just blocked the number.Barclays1 yearSeems to me that 60179 is definitely some kind of rip-off.1 year60179 - No way this is legit, I haven't got any texts from them this January 2025! I do get messages now and then but not from this number. I rang them up just to be sure and yeah, it's a scam. Watch out, I've reported and blocked the number already!1 yearGot a text claiming to be from Barclays, saying they had reached out in January about better interest rates on savings. It asked me to reply "Yes" if I wanted a call within 5 working days. I never answered. Seems like a phishing or scam message to me. I've blocked the number now.Barclays1 yearJust got another dodgy call trying to phish info. Classic scam move!1 yearThis morning at 9:04am (14/05/25) I received a suspicious text claiming to be from Barclays. It mentioned something about texting me since January and all that. I went ahead and forwarded it to Barclays’ fraud department straight away.Barclays1 yearIt said it was Barclays on the message but be careful - replying will end up costing you loads cos it’s one of those premium texts.Barclays1 yearI got a message supposedly from Barclays saying they reached out to me back in January about interest rates, which they definitely didn’t. They asked me to respond with "yes" to confirm, but there's no way I'm replying. Feels like just another phishing scam to me.Barclays1 yearGot a strange text from an unknown number saying to text 'yes' if I want to discuss interest rates. It claimed I asked about them back in January, which I absolutely didn’t. My phone even flagged it as a possible scam. The message says it’s from 'your Barclays team' but I'm not falling for it. I’m planning to report this to both the police and Barclays. They always say don’t share your info, and since it’s a premium rate number, I definitely won’t be calling back.Barclays1 yearDefinitely a genuine call from Barclays.Barclays2 yearsEarlier today, I received a message from this number claiming to be Barclays wanting to discuss my account. I snapped a quick pic of the message and sent it over to Barclays’ fraud team at their scam reporting email …. [email protected] …. then I just deleted the message straight away.Barclays2 yearsGot a message from Barclays saying they need to discuss my bank account. Since I block premium texts, I can’t respond because they charge loads for those. It could be genuine, but if there’s any shady stuff going on, I’m stuck not being able to reply yes or no. Honestly, Barclays should sort out a better way to handle this.Barclays2 yearsSo if this is Barclays, why would they send texts? They always say they don’t contact customers via text messages. And why is it coming from a premium rate number? Honestly, I’d just say don’t bother replying.Barclays2 yearsThis has got scam written all over it. I've never received a text from Barclays previously, and the way they brought up the issue just doesn't seem right at all.Barclays2 yearsso impolite. completely uncalled for really.2 yearsSpoke with Barclays and it really is them. They even told me you can answer the message with more than just yes or no.Barclays2 yearsThis seems like a right scam to me - if it’s actually my bank, then send a proper letter. I won’t bother replying to texts from some random number.2 yearsAbsolutely, I’m certain it’s genuine! I went to the local branch and confirmed it's listed on their bank statements.2 yearsThey wanted to arrange a call but it was on a premium line so I didn’t bother replying. Seems a bit sketchy to me, best to stay clear.2 yearsI’ve been thinking about moving over to A Starling bank cause their interest rates seem cracking and it looks pretty straightforward to use. After seeing this, I reckon that’s the push I needed. I currently have a Barclays Premier account and honestly, I don’t see any advantage at all with it.StarlingBarclays2 yearsGot this message: “Thanks for your reply, your appointment is set for today at 12:30pm. Barclays Premier Team will ring you, watch out for a number ending in 6004. Looking forward to our chat. Barclays Premier Team.” It showed up from 60179. I'm not picking up. Might be a scam or spoof. Not really worth taking the chance to find out more. They have plenty of other ways to get in touch anyway.2 yearsGot a text from Barclays but it was from one of them premium rate numbers. Like others have said before, Barclays, you’re already making plenty of money without charging us through these expensive lines. Honestly, really disappointed!! Not even bothering to respond!!Barclays2 yearsI keep getting messages from 60179. It's a Premium Rate number, which is ridiculous for Barclays to use, and it's been faked too. What you’re actually doing is booking a slot for scammers to ring you! Seriously, don’t fall for it!!!!!Barclays2 yearsI received a rather dodgy text purportedly from Barclays, addressing me by my first name and urging me to reply with a “YES” if I was free to have a chat about their Premier Service. While I do indeed have the Premier Service account with them, I was quite taken aback to see this message coming from a premium number, which implies that responding could incur a hefty charge. They neglected to mention that agreeing to reply would likely come at an extortionate cost! It’s rather unsettling to say the least.3 yearsGot a text from "Barclays" saying my mortgage fixed term is about to finish. But I do have a mortgage with them, just not a fixed term one.Barclays3 yearsGot a message about my premier banking account, asking me to ring them back.3 yearsThis number is genuinely Barclays, but it can be faked. Barclays normally just asks you to reply with Y (YES) or N (NO). If they ask for anything different, dont respond and make sure to report it.3 yearsThey wanted me to call Barclays for some survey, but it’s a total scam trying to grab your personal info. Definitely don’t bother replying.3 yearsGot a text from Barclays using number 60179. It says if I reply it’ll cost me over a pound. Be careful with that!Barclays3 yearsI received a message claiming that Barclays wanted to discuss something with me. After giving them a ring, it turned out they hadn’t sent me any text at all. Seems like it’s a scam, if you ask me! I've gone ahead and blocked the number now.Barclays3 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Barclays, total scam. They actually knew my name and the kind of account I have, so it must be someone on the inside at Barclays or at least with access to their info. Be careful!Barclays3 yearsI received a message purportedly from Barclays, originating from the number 60179, inquiring when they could ring me to chat about my account. I went ahead and flagged it as a scam.Barclays3 yearsI ignored the text from 60179 since it's a premium number, and I just don't see why Barclays would be using one. If that really is Barclays, I'd think they'd be better than charging me through a premium line.Barclays3 yearsthey said it was barclays. i got verification right through the app without giving any personal details cause they already knew who i was from the app message. brilliant app! i make sure they do that every time they call. much simpler and safer this way.Barclays3 yearsGot a text saying I could reduce my mortgage rate - bit fishy cause mine is fixed. It told me to reply to the message. I called Barclays and they confirmed they didn't send anything from that number, so it's definitely a scam and you could get charged if you reply.Barclays4 yearsThe number 60179 appears to be authentic, no doubt about it.4 yearsGot a legit text from Barclays. We set up a meeting time, then someone from their side phoned me and we verified each other safely through the Barclays App (it asks to confirm it's you when on a call with Johnny). Really smart way to make sure both people are who they say they are.BarclaysJohnny4 years60179. Fishy call! Someone claiming to be Barclays Premier Service wanted me to give a time to call back! Didn’t pick up. I’m gonna go straight to my nearby branch to sort this out.Barclays Premier Service4 yearsI rang Barclays Premier through the Barclays App itself and they told me they hadn’t sent any text message to me.Barclays Premier5 yearsAt first I thought it was Barclays, just trying to arrange a time to call me back, but then my phone warned me I'd be charged for replying, so I got suspicious it might be a scam. I've flagged it as "dangerous" because it seems like they're after money, though who knows if it’s a quid or a whole fortune!Barclays5 yearsI received a message from 60179 inviting me to indicate when I might be available for a call from Barclays. How rude! It’s a premium rate line, for crying out loud! I understand they’ve recently let their CEO go and are probably short on funds, but they can forget about getting any cash from me!!! To Barclays, if you happen to see this, please reconsider using such premium rate numbers for your customers. It’s completely unnecessary. As a Premier account holder with investments managed by you, I'm seriously reconsidering my options and may be taking my business elsewhere!Barclays5 yearsGot a message from this number claiming to be Barclays Premier Team. One red flag is that it wasn’t personalised at all, just said “Dear Customer.” If that’s really from Barclays, it’s a proper poor job. I was just looking at their scam awareness page, and they should really step up their game. Also, does anyone else think scammers might be faking this Barclays number? If I was a con artist, I’d definitely be using it!BarclaysTeam5 yearsGot a text from 60179 but I’m not replying if it’s some dodgy premium number or a scam. If it’s really Barclays, why don’t they just use the app to get in touch?Barclays5 yearsGot a text claiming to be from Barclays. Just ignored it. If they truly need to get in touch, they can write a letter. I’ve been a customer there for ages, come on!Barclays5 yearsThe Barclays Premier Team quickly sent me a confirmation to approve through the app, totally safe no worries.Team5 yearsIf this text is genuinely from Barclays, why would they go about it like this? It's really unsettling, and even when they ask you to get in touch, they don’t provide a proper phone number, so there’s no way I’m replying to some random number with a strange request. Barclays could just call me themselves or, better yet, send a straightforward letter. If that’s too much bother, I’m more than ready to switch to a different provider who can handle things properly.Barclays5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Barclays but said they would never text me, definitely felt like a scam attempt.Barclays6 yearsI called Barclays Premier and they said the text did come from them. They were glad I got in touch. Everyone’s so worried about scams and phishing these days, which makes sense. Getting a call like that feels quick and comforting.Barclays6 yearsSeems this is actually from Barclays for real. But honestly, sending texts like this just makes it harder for folks to tell what’s legit and what’s a con, cos scammers can easily copy the message and fake the number. Why don’t they say something like, “We realise you might have questions about your banking right now and want to remind you our team’s here to help. Always get in touch using the contact info on your card to be sure you’re speaking to a real Barclays agent.” Sure, it might not get as many responses, but it’d cut down on the risk of fraud. This feels very careless!Barclays6 yearsi was a bit wary at first but since it was Barclays, i asked them to confirm they were legit. they actually sent a message through my banking app telling me who they were, and when i checked, they didn't even ask me security questions. really impressed with how smooth that was!!!Barclays6 yearsI reckon this is some sort of scam, I’ve never heard of my bank sending texts that charge premium rates.6 yearsGlad to see this is legit, even if Barclays don’t seem to handle it very well.Barclays6 yearsCould be a scam, but lots of reviews are mixed so it's hard to say. I'd avoid calling back just to be safe. If it was a genuine issue with your bank, you’d have rang them yourself anyway. When unsure - best to just leave it alone!6 yearsBarclays - I was quite wary at first as it felt odd for the bank to get in touch this way. I followed the tip and called the number printed on my card, and managed to talk to someone who said it was legit. Had a really useful chat, so thanks for that!Barclays6 yearsLegit call from Barclays, they were helping out and setting up a meeting.Barclays6 yearsGot a legit text from Barclays about setting up a phone appointment. They even recognised me using my mobile banking app, so I was sure it was really them before I spoke to anyone. Proper good experience!Barclays6 yearsI work for Barclays and can confirm we’re currently sending loads of texts each day. The earlier comment is more of a personal view, so don’t take it as gospel. If you want to be sure, it’s best to call the number on the back of your card. We use a system called “rewind it” to check texts, so you can ask them about that. With Covid, some of the people answering phones might be doing different roles and might not be familiar with this system yet since they’re pretty new.Barclays6 yearsThis looks like a scam call pretending to be Barclays. Barclays say they never sent anything like that. Looks like scammers are using Barclays number. Don’t pick up, instead ring the bank on their official number to double check, even if it shows as correct on the phone ID. Stay careful!Barclays6 yearsThat was Barclays just ringing to see if everything’s alright with me and suggesting some easier banking options.Barclays6 yearsReally strange getting that message, felt a bit dodgy. Glad I got to chat with Barclays tho.Barclays6 yearsWas just thinking about ringing Barclays for ages, cheers for the nudge!Barclays6 yearsi called the number on the back of my card like it said here, turned out it was Barclays checking if they could assist me :) really happy i came across this info, thanks everyoneBarclays6 yearsLegit message for sure6 years60179 - got a text saying it’s Barclays Team checking if I need any help with my banking. Felt a bit dodgy cos all the other Barclays messages I've had come from a different number. Plus they actually said Hello, which they’ve never done before. I just got a legit message not long ago, so not sure why they’d send another one so soon and from a different number as well.Barclays Team6 yearsI work at Barclays and can assure you this number is definitely legit. We only use it to send texts, not to call - all our legitimate calls come from separate numbers. There are tons of customers genuinely needing assistance, so people throwing around scam accusations without checking properly just causes unnecessary panic. If you’re still unsure about those messages, please call the number on the back of your debit card to confirm. We really are here to help.6 yearsone other way to make sure this is actually Barclays is to visit their official site. Look up "phone number checker" and enter 60179. it might be a bit weird that they contact us this way but if you follow these safety checks youll find out it really is Barclays.Barclays6 yearsCheers Barclays, I was really stressed about my card payment!Barclays6 yearsWatch out for this dodgy message. They claim to be from my bank, urging me to text 'yes' for assistance with my bills, with promises of a call returning. Definitely a scam!6 yearsWouldn’t trust them, they even messed up my name.6 yearsthis has been a lifesaver for me since im in a tough spot and cant go out of my home for 12 weeks6 yearsAbsolutely top-notch help!6 yearsReceived a legit message from Barclays, nothing suspicious.Barclays6 yearsTotally reliable, cheers! Really saved me when I needed it most!6 yearsdefinitely barclays, no doubt about it. really appreciate your help today!Barclays6 yearsoh its definitely barclays, cheers for the help today!Barclays6 yearsBarclays - I managed to get a mortgage holiday because of COVID-19. The guy i talked to mentioned this SMS alert service wasn’t really popular before, but now they’re sending out loads of texts daily since it’s been really helpful.6 yearsYeah, it seems this number is legit. I guess the first complaints just jumped to the conclusion it was a scam since it’s kinda odd for a bank to reach out that way.6 yearsReally handy tool, saved me loads of time! Been struggling to reach the bank cos they’re always so busy.6 yearsgot a message from this number and looked it up here. i did what felt safest and called the number on the back of my card, so happy i did. looks like its really barclays contacting me because of the current situation, cheers!6 yearslooks like a scam, no way im replying to this. bit annoying cause i already cant stand barclays and now ive missed my shot to tell em to shove it.Barclays6 yearsTotal scam. Best not to respond.6 yearsGot a text on 20th Feb saying it was from Barclays Premier, asking me to reply with a time for them to ring me back. It felt dodgy since it didn’t look like any previous messages I’ve had from the bank, and the number was unfamiliar. Turns out it’s a scam. Watch out!7 yearsMe and my husband both got messages from this number. The giveaway was right at the start with “hello”. Barclays usually use your name when they contact you. I also went and checked in person at Barclays branch. Don’t reply, this is definitely a scam.Barclays7 yearsIts a scam message, dont respond or youll get hit with expensive premium texts.7 yearsGot a scam text saying i’ll get charged. Dont reply, its dodgy.7 yearsGot a text saying it was from Barclays Premier Banking but it’s a scam. Didn’t respond and wouldn’t advise anyone to reply either as it charges a premium rate. Total scam, be careful out there!Barclays Premier BankingSubmit Your Own Report (60179)
