Watch out for Fraud Alert Calls

I just recieved a call from 877 464 9118 i did not answer it and they left a voicemail and i played it and it was an automated voice claiming there's a hold on my account and it goes on and on and it says something about Barclays...... I don't have any accounts with Barclays! Just a warning so people don't fall for this!

Could be an old number that you now have that they had on file for someone else.

Re: Watch out for Fraud Alert Calls

the voicemail left by automated voice even demanded that I disreguard text alerts and email alerts...... so that's a red flag right there!

I got the same voice mail yesterday...I don't have a Barclay card either.....called Barclay Security and they confirmed there is a phishing scam going around.   I gave them the 877 number.

 

Everyone just be careful!!
