Strange Email from BarclaycardUS

AAstra — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 23:25:32 GMT

Has anyone else with a Barclay card received a email with the following?

Subject: Support_test_standard_template

Message: Hi, This is test std template.

Very odd - hopefully my card hasn't been hacked.

Cheers!

I JUST received this e-mail! I didn;t click on anything. But I think I may call customer service to check on my account & make sure it's okay.

I would call them and alert them to possible fraud from their domain

Looks like a standard phishing message and most likely having no connection to Barclays at all. I doubt it indicates that your account has been hacked, most likely you just got the mailing randomly. If you want to check with Barclays, go ahead, but most likely all you have to do to be safe is don't click on the link and delete the message.

BTW, you might also take the live link out of your post for everybody else's safety. Thanks.

Did you check the message headers? The sending addy could be spoofed. In that case, I agree Barclays needs to know about it, though it likely didn't actually come from their servers.

Something like this would normally go straight to my spam folder, together with all the emails from the widows of deceased Nigerian Army Generals.

Never got one of those in my personal email but at least 1-2 a day in my work email (and yes, I read them because they make me laugh!).

I didn't get the strange email...checked my junk/spam folder as well.

I've received about 5 of them in the last 3-4 hours. I haven't clicked on any links. I agree it's quite odd. I deleted all of them, but I will find and email the next one I get to the fraud department.
