Fake Barclays Alert — Scam Warning!
Summary — +443301334986
Expert Opinion
Scammers are masquerading as Barclays to trick recipients into calling this number after suspicious SMS alerts about fake transactions. Evidence from multiple reports shows consistent phishing tactics, like claiming unauthorised payments to EasyJet or AirBnB, urging contact for 'confirmation'. Never respond or dial back—block and delete immediately to safeguard personal data. Report to Action Fraud or your bank for investigation; enable two-factor authentication on accounts to bolster security. These ploys aim to extract banking details or codes, so vigilance pays off in dodging financial pitfalls.
