08000852652

Bogus Barclays Bank called today. Asked about the app on my phone, saying that Iwas able to use the new contact via the app gibberish.  I knew that. But the thing is he was just to "Cocky" and seemd to be reading from a script. Confident little fellow.

Barclays Bank replied:
Phone number checker

Put any phone number into the checker, and it’ll confirm whether or not it’s a genuine Barclays number.

Please make sure you enter the number correctly and in full – you may need to remove the country code.

The checker can be used to check any number you find on the Barclays website or elsewhere – for example, it may have been sent to you via text message. If the number is not recognised, please don’t call it or accept calls from it.

 No this isn't a genuine Barclays number

0800052652 doesn't match with a current Barclays phone number. Please check the number you've entered is correct. If you're sure it's the right number, call us on 0345 734 5345.

These guys are using sites like this to re-assure people that they are Genuine...They are not! They are even using a false number checker site the one above or this one:

Looks the same as this one: (Genuine)

u on about?

have just visited barclays site on their SECURE https address, fraud page, FAQs, Q1 that has link to your number checker, confirms it's GENUINE. so whom are we to believe? or is barclays IT compromised?

I got today like 18:30 the phone this number 0800852652 , Mr. introduced himself as Barclays Bank and wanted make appointment with mortgage and I asked them about the " my mother's maiden name " it may be likely that they already have all the rest?!

A woman claiming to be from Barclays, phoning with information about a "free service". She wouldn't divulge any information on what the "free service" was and just tried to get my personal information off of me. I ended the call and then received another call from the same number about 30 minutes later: they hung up when I answered.

This is a genuine Barclays number, you cna confirm it here. http://www.barclays.co.uk/telephone-number-checker

Unfortunately there are plenty of bogus operations known for using caller id spoofing. It is for this reason that I tend to avoid calls from unknown numbers. However if I received a call from a financial institution, I would call a number listed on their website.

This is Barclays number and you can check it by calling Barclays via Direct Call and ask in them.
But sincerely saying I'm disappointed on how Barclays works. Below is my story:
I was called from that number on 31st of March 2016 and the girl presented herself as person from "relationship department". She started asking me security questions like "last 2 letters of mothers name" and my "birth date". I though that this is suspicious and hang the phone. But still was a bit nervous about that - so went to Barclays Moorgate branch:
1. I've spoken with 3 employees from branch and all of them were saying that this is fraud rent attempt and I should never tell my details like that. But I still was picky and asked to check my account and report this number in their system. In the end consultant in the Branch said that I should call Barclays via "Direct Call" from my mobile banking because the don't have enough data to do that in Brach.
2. So I've clicked "Direct Call" from my mobile banking and reported same info about suspicious call. The said that this is VALID BARCLAYS NUMBER and redirected me to same "relationship" department and same girl that was asking me security questions in the morning. She didn't ask me those questions anymore (because I called them via Mobile Banking) and started offering different Barclays crap like "saving account" and "blue rewards". I asked her why she were asking security details in the morning - she told that there is no guarantee that my phone is not stolen and they need to ask some questions to make sure that I'm a valid account holder.
To sum up: I've spent an hour dealing with that. People in Barclays have no idea how other departments work. The behave like typical scammers and you never know whether Barclays or some scammer is calling you. I will always use only "Direct Call" via mobile banking. This number is a Valid Barclays Number. Hope this helps

Today they rang saying they are Barclays - I replied that I never receive any phone calls from the Bank - very very dodgy

This IS Barclays. I was called by this number today, caller knew my name, and said he was from Barclays asking to survey me on their online banking service. I said ok, and then he asked for personal info- to start with the last 2 letters of my mother's maiden name. I declined to give any info and he basically just hung up on me. I then called Barclays myself to check/complain, and googled the number and found this website, where everyone seems to have similar complaints varying on a theme. Barclays were then v helpful, looked the number up, confirmed it was barclays, apologised for the poor customer service, and logged it as a compliant which must then be reported to the regulator. They said it is probably poor customer service rather than a fraudulent call.

I received a call from this number earlier today on my mobile. They claim to be Barclays. I told them I did not discuss my banking on unsolicited phone calls and hung up. Went in to my local branch and they confirmed it was not them.

rings me all the time. once I answer hangs up

What is the name of the organisation calling from this number

Information already provided above.   Worth reading before bursting into song.

some says it's Barclays, others claim not. according to the Barclays website http://www.barclays.co.uk/telephone-number-checker it most certainly is. however, numbers can be disguised, easily some say, so your caller display cannot always be trusted, if in doubt, hang up but call number yourself, preferably on a DIFFERENT phone to that on which you received the call. (or wait AT LEAST 5 MINUTES before using the same phone.) it's disappointing that even Barclays staff are reported to have said "Yes it is genuine" AND "No it's fraud." Ain't it a wonderful world.

Said they were from Barclays and wanted the last two letters of mothers maiden name I gave them nothing so be careful do not give any information at all they then hung up called on my mobile phone.

just received a call now from this number answered it asking general questions about my account. stating what my balance is etc based in Sunderland, North East England. Or is it an indian call centre with a voice alteration device?

keep getting calls from this number, but once i pick the phone up there is no contact and the phone is put down again

Had a missed call from this number yesterday. No message left. Looked up number and found this site. Now im seriously worried someone is trying to commit fraud against me.
Sort this mess out barclays or im moving bank! If it is barclays cold calling then get this message
WE DONT WANT COLD CALLERS! Just text like you normally do if you want to give me some info
