“That number is from Barclays, I was a bit dubious at first and went to the Barclays site itself and did the following steps: - On the main page click on the tab that says - Services and support (top right of page) - then from the drop down list go to the left, under Help and support click - Help and FAQs - then start typing - tel - (for telephone) scroll down the options and you should find - Telephone number checker - click on that and type the number into the check number box and click the green check number box, Barclays will confirm its genuine, hope that helps everybody, safe surfing out there.”

“They PRETEND to be Barclays. They're I think based in the Philippines (another commenter below estimates the same). Said "we've had some improvements on the Barclays mobile App that will be of interest to you. Please before we commence, confirm your date of birth". I hung up immediately. They called back and I let it ring out. No voicemail left. 1000% a scam. They need to Be caught quickly!”

“I was called yesterday from the number, a woman saying she was from Barclays to tell me about a new feature of the mobile app. She then wanted to check my details - asking for my birthday or numbers from my account. I refused and she said she was unable to tell me this 'new exciting news'. I pointed out that if this was to tell me me some new benefits, she didn't need my personal info. She still refused to tell me, and said I should go to my local branch to get the news. She hung up abruptly. I checked the number on the Barclays website and it said it was a genuine Barclays number. I rang Barclays and explained what had happened. The chap there said it was a genuine Barclays number and said he would ring it to see what was happening. He did ring the number but just got an answerphone - which he said shouldn't happen. He recommended that if I get another call from them that I should NOT give them any information.”

“I received a call (call centre, non-uk accent) from 08000852652 purporting to be from "Barclays Premier", - he claimed to be following up an email (which was incorrect) and started to ask for my details - No Way!!! It's true 08000852652 IS a Barclays number (I looked up Barclays Premier and phoned them)BUT remember a scammer can make the number appearing on your phone any number they choose so spoofing a "real"number is an obvious and easy thing for a scammer to do. Don't be fooled by internet links either! NEVER give any sensitive information to a cold-caller.”

“This *is* Barclays, called through to customer services from the app, so no way for that to be diverted. Also checked the number on Barclays site and this confirms it to be legit (user below missed a '0'; its an 08000 number, not 0800. That said, it is advertising for app features, so legit, but non-urgent.”
