'I don’t even have an account with Barclays bank???' says it all to me!  SCAM !

Barclays Complaints team, called me after i logged a complaint with them. Genuine call.

Called at 19:20 and hang up

Hung up on answer

I've named thsi caller "DO NOT ANSWER!!" I can't remember why though but it just called me and I didn't answer

block the number, rang the police, tell the trading standard, this is scum call

Really? Then why do they call me? I'm not and have never been a 'Barclays Additions' or any Barclays account holder?

I don't get all the people on here saying it's a genuine Barclays call to sell customers Barclays products. I'm not a Barclays customer yet receive calls from this number all the time. I'm also led to believe Barclays don't cold call non-customers so are you 100% sure?

They rang me on Friday, then again today. In both occasion the phone rang only for 5 seconds, then they hang up before you can get to answer, making one curious. One can see the last caller's number and the temptation is to ring back, because it's only an 0800 number which is free to dial.  - DON'T - There must be a reason for this mental game, it doesn't make any sense: I explain: if they are leaving on your screen a freephone number to call them back (they are paying for the call) why then hang up when they are calling in the first place? Is it that they want to build up your curiosity and push you to make that call?
My suggestion is: DON'T call them back, let them die waiting for you to fall in the trap. Who knows what they are really after.
Also: is this 5-sec ring not a banned technique? It is harassing behaviour.

I've checked this number on Barclays phone number checker and it says:
Thanks for checking. 08000852652 is a genuine Barclays phone number

08000852652 it was BARCLAYS nothing to worry about

I answered the call and remained silent and it was Barclays after when i returned the call.

Missed a call from this number too but figured it couldn’t have been overly important as whoever it was didn’t bother to leave a message. Been getting calls from all over the world of late which i believe to be scammers and have had to ask my mobile provider to block calls from abroad in case I accidentally answer and get charged a small fortune

Someone call me from above no and mention that  they are calling from Barclay bank.i m not sure wheather it was true or false caller.pls let me know thank you

Still doing the rounds claiming to be Barclays.  I claimed not to be me saying who they wanted was out and they said they would try later or Monday. Asked if they were really Barclays got an 'of course' answer.

I was called today from this number. said  he was from barclays and when i asked him how he intended to prove it he said he would give me my last 8 numbers of my account.the purpose of his cal was to see if i was getting the most out of my accounf. Im sorry that i was a bit short with him but i automatically go in to protection mode and told him i thought the interest rate stinks which is why i moved my two ISAs to a building society (he would already know this I expct) but I was more than happy with my current account and it gave me everything i need. ( People moan about banks robbing the public but they are a business and not a charity, if used properly thay are fantastic and ive been with Barclays for over 40yrs and have had no issues with them, ive been incredibly poor and apart from odd overdraught charges in the early days has not cost me a penny.) So this call may well have been Barclays but seen too many fraud cases to risk it.

This is a scam.  For "security" they asked for letters from my mother's maiden name.  I have never provided that information to Barclays so knew it was completely bogus.  Geordie bloke rang me, sounded a bit disappointed when I told him I was hanging up.

Had call from this number which I missed but Barclays have a phone number checker, that says this number is safe...

Hung up when answered not saying who the caller was or from what company called the number back claiming to be Barclays supposedly?

Same number, but says they are work and pensions. trying to give me money back they owe. After hanging up, they kept trying to call back. You’d think they would be smart enough to use a different number than the Barclays scam one.
