Is this call from Barclaycard?

While at work today, I missed 8 phonecalls from 0845 351 2259

When I googled the number to see who it was pestering me, it seems to be that it's Barclaycard...? Is this a legitimate number for them?

I also yesterday received text messages alleging to be from Barclays asking me to verify transactions including one of £1800 to BT.

They asked me to include my DOB in the text so I presumed it was phishing and just deleted it.

I don't have a Barclaycard or bank with Barclays but a search seems to suggest this is a legitimate number for them? What do you think I should do? Forget about it?

If you don't have any accounts with Barclays & Barclaycard then I would just ignore it & not respond. Has nothing to do with you...

And I think exactly the opposite. You should ring them up to find out why they have your number, it could just be a mistake and a similar number to yours has ended up being entered incorrectly on their database, but it could be that someone has fraudulently applied for and received a card using your name. Better to make one phone call and sort it out than for it to come back to haunt you later.

I receive regular text messages...e-mails of all sorts telling me that my account with such is blocked etc.....what's the point of calling when you won't even go through security. Just probably best to check reference agency preferably equifax because of Barclaycard before calling anyone
