Left a garbled voicemail message

Careful - that doesn't necessarily confirm the call is genuine. There's software freely available that can spoof any number the scammers want to, so they can appear to be from any organisation they claim to be. Never give information, including passcodes or OTPs to a cold caller and never log into a computer on their say-so.

I think Barclays Bank has now a very bad reputation ... why is it always from Barclays I am now going  to transfer my account to another bank

I recieved a missed call from this number. Spoke to Barclays as per some of the other entries however it isn't one of theirs so can only assume it is a fraud. Ignore seems to be the best adice!!

Why would the same number call for years on end to say they are reviewing your account if its not genuine?
Your bank will never ask you for BANKING information and NEVER ask you to move money or trick you into moving money to another account number that they provide to you.

Got a call this morning saying it’s Barclays and asking for my mother’s maiden name as my security question I said I’m not comfortable giving this info!

This IS A SCAM!!! BEWARE this is how it works. They phone you, say they are from such and such a bank. They ask you dodgy questions and you get suspicious. The call is ended somehow. YOU use your phone to ring a LEGITIMATE bank number, but really the scammer knows that for at least a minute the line to YOUR phone is still connected to THEM! They (scammer) pretend to be real Bank, give you lots of sympathy and ASK YOU FOR YOUR ACCOUNT Details and mothers name. YOU GIVE it to them and BINGO, they are into your account very quickly. NEVER NEVER NEVER discuss your Bank details unless YOU CALLED THEM in the first place.
