Expert Opinion
Fraudsters send fake texts claiming to be from Barclays, providing bogus codes for purchases at retailers like Hilton, IKEA, or Argos. Recipients who didn't authorise the transaction are urged to ring the number for 'verification'. This ploy aims to extract personal banking details or steal funds. Numerous reports confirm it's a widespread scam, often targeting unrelated phones. Block the number immediately and report to Action Fraud. Never share info over unsolicited calls—verify directly with Barclays via official channels. If suspicious, check your accounts promptly and enable two-factor authentication for extra security.
