“This number is connected to a SCAM do not reply to it . If you get a text saying there has been unauthorised transaction stating its Barclays. This is not true ! If you call the number, there will be a con-artist on the other end trying to get you to give them infomation so they can with draw all the money out of you account. They also use the telephone number 03330220286 or +443330220286 as part of this scam. if you see any of these, do not call them !”

“Received a txt from this number stating its Barclays. They say I have added a new payee on my account, included last details on the card. Added they have to verify further details and text me again from a 60174. The second message read as follows: 99.75 GBP at Sainsburys Groceries, UNITED KINGDOM. Please reply Y if the transaction is yours or reply N if you don't recognise it. Reply is free from UK. Obviously I have never done such transaction. Scam? Safe?”

“This number called saying they were Barclays and asking for details of my security questions so we could discuss "at to day activity" on my account. I refused and called the Barclays fraud department, they confirmed that this is not a legitimate Barclays number and is definitely a scam caller. Don't believe anyone who tells you it's legitimate, Barclays themselves have confirmed it as otherwise and have taken my report on board.”

“Type of call is 'fraud'. I am getting texts from Barclays Bank telling me I've done something with my account and if I don't agree then I am to call 03332001014. I guess it's a premium rate number and if I did call it regarding a text from my bank would they then proceed to try and get my bank details. I haven't called it of course but wanted to share the fact that this number is being used in a scam!”

“SCAM - INSECURE WEBSITE ON PHONE CHECK! Had a call this evening and the man said that the call was about "my mortgage." When I asked him what mortgage, he said that it was just mortgage advice. I told him that it seemed suspicious and that I would need to check his number. He told me to check it on the Barclay's number check website, which I did. That told me it was a genuine number, BUT...THAT WEBSITE IS NOT HTTPS (i.e. it's NOT a SECURE website.) No bank would have a website that is not secure! Therefore, I believe it to be a SCAM! Just because there's a website claiming to be a Barclay's site, if it's not secure (HTTPS) it's not going to be Barclay's! Be very careful!”

“Had a call late evening and the bird says it's from Barclays to discuss the features of my account. Confirmed last two letter of my mother's maiden and date of birth which i did reluctantly. After a while i grew suspicious because i was put on hold. In the mean time i google the number and i grew suspicious based on the information i was reading from this blog. I started asking her details from my account and payments ive made. She got it wrong and i politely told her im going to end up the call. However, after reporting to Barclays, Ive been told this is a GENUINE BARCLAYS NUMBER and shouldnt be worried.”
