Caller stated he was from Barclays, and knew some things about my family's credit card, but his questions were odd and asked me to verify my date of birth and street address, which Barclays had never done before. After I ended the call, I called the # on the back of my credit card, explained the call I'd just received, and they transferred me to Security. They said that they didn't have a record of any calls being made to me, and stated that they'd never ask those types of questions. It was someone phishing for info.
I just checked "my profile" on my Barclay credit card and this # was listed as my secondary phone number. I have reported it to the credit company and updated my personal information, including removing this.
No calls to my phone number but certainly concerned!
I keep getting these calls and do not know who is calling but it is most annoying. Someone said Barkley's Bank was the scam. How do I stop them. I either don't answer or hang up.
just called my cell. no msg. blocked number immediately! As soon as I can pay them off, I'm planning to tell them where they can go. NEVER, NEVER answer the phone, block them as I did. Update your info & NEVER give out important information as they will post lies on your credit reports........
Called and said our Master Card account payment was past due. We don't have a Master Card Account. Gave us a phone number of 888-232-0776. Called it, gave them social security number without thinking about it. Did not ask for birth date.
