08000852652

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.

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 got a call from a women with an indian accent saying it was Barclays and they wanted to let me know about a new feature with the banking app. I asked what the feature was and they said I'd have to go through a security check so I said I wasn't interested and hung up. Not sure if it was barclays or not but I'm pretty sure I have a don't call me on my account and if you are going through a feature on an app why would there need to be a security check? Seems dodgy to me.

This number continually calls me but each time I answer they hang up. Finally managed to speak to someone and they are apparently from barclays. Spoke to my local branch and they said the number was nothing to do with them. Most probably a scam so beware.

It's a whole year they keep calling me, i managed to talk to someone just once, other times they hang up as soon as i picked the call up. I don't think that's barclays e neighter does barclays (my branch at least). Take care, give no details, if barclays wants something from you, you'll know soon enough without dodgy calls in the middle of the night.

Just received a phone call from my bank regarding this number. It is NOT Barclays. It's some dodgy fake barlcays call centre in the Philippines. They make It sound all official but DO NOT give them any details. Barclays confirmed that this is NOT a phone number they use and suggested to block the number ASAP.

100% scam in my opinion. Just had a call "some improvements in Barclays app recently, want to shar them but can I take your DOB 1st?" I hung up immediately.

They called back straight away, I didn't pick up. Lady on the phone has the spiel she rattled off. Estimate that their HQ is in the Philippines.

Don't give any details.

Called by 08000852652 claiming to be Barclays to do an account review. Felt dodgy so gave a false DOB yet they continued to speak to me, Barclays would NEVER do that. Be careful who you give personal info to.

Called today saying they had a free offer from Barclays. I asked for the last 4 digits of my card. They quoted incorrcet detail. They then asked for my DOB I did not give it.Reported to Barclays Fraud dpt
The caller said her name was Lisa Jullian
Told Barclays fraud said it was a Barclays number BUT you can changee the caller display that you see to any number. DO NOT GIVE DETAIL OUT EVEN DOB.

You are right. This number called me for the same reason and the guy said he is from Barclays but after confirming from Barclays, they said they would not call any member demanding any personal informations on the phone.

This is vishing.
The first time I received a call from this number they just hung up, probably checking to see if the number is valid. The second time, they spoke to me claiming that they are Barclays and wanted to talk about their mortgages offering. I very much doubt that this is really Barclays. When you phone this number, it says it is Barclays but no options to be put through.

*SCAM* *SCAM* *SCAM* - FAKE CALLER ID! - *SCAM* *SCAM* *SCAM*

Also received 2 calls on my landline from this number today. I have never been a Barclays customer, am XD and with TPS. As others have said 08000852652 is a genuine Barclays number used for marketing of their products, which is why the devious scammers have chosen it as their fake Caller ID!
It's a confidence trick! They tell you to hang up and do 1471 to "verify" it's really Barclays, then they call you back trying to extract your personal info to steal from your bank account.

This number came up when some neolithic cretin tried to call,,,
Ex D.S.

it is a Barclays genuine number.

JUST REMEMBER, Barclays will only ask for part of you details, for example first two letters of your mothers maiden name. Never give full details over the phone.

Hi Just had a call from 0800 0852652 claiming to be from Barclay's updating me on the app, then asked for the month and year I was born, told her no way, I had just watched an advert from Barclay's a few days ago claiming they wouldn't ever ask me for my personal info. Told her that i was going to put the phone down and when I had she rang me back. wanted to prove to me that she really was from Barclay's. I did start to wain but that advert just kept popping up in the back of my mind. I said no and eventually she sighed and gave in, said if I ever needed any help with the app then to call Barclay's. I then rang Barclay's to double check and they said that they would never do that - but they weren't even interested in this call either. I suppose it costs too much to investigate and is cheaper to pay out

I had a cold call to an ex directory number 16/02/2016 purporting to be from Barclays Bank, when asked for my DOB the caller then made an excuse to say they were unable to check this due to a fault on their system. Alarm Bells!!!! My husband checked the number here and then with a Barclays On Line Chat representative who confirmed that it was a genuine Barclays number and advised as follows Please call the Customer Service Team on 0345 7345345 who will be able to assist. As I didn't initiate the call I have no reason to call them.

Strange as it seems I am replying to my own post to provide an update -
I have contacted my Bank direct and now they are saying that they have attempted to call 08000852652 and it goes dead. Maybe we have stopped a scam however it seems strange that when I went on line chat with Barclays they said exactly the opposite see original post. I have kept a transcript of the Chat History and will provide that to the Fraud Investigators if required. Stay Safe folks.

Called me at least four times various times of day and night, silences or no voicemail. Cannot identify them and lots of negative reports therefore blocked!

Got a call from them today.  Didn't answer as I don't answer numbers I don't know, just as well after reading all this.  Number now blocked.
