Got a call off a 0844 number which I ignore. Googled it barclaycard fraud department. So phoned number on back of the card and yes they have received a list of possible! cards being compromised. Mine now blocked and no dodgy transactions supposedly.'cant access my online account as it's #being updated. Hmm check you accounts

Barclaycard receiving a list of cards which (may) have been compromised doesn't necessarily mean Barclaycard itself has been compromised. The list might be of cards compromised at a retailer or a card/processing company. This wouldn't necessarily extend to just Barclaycard. Following investigations into breaches or fraud, these sorts of lists are common.This is everybody's fault but mine.0

The same thing happened to me when I was with Santander. They work in partnership with VISA. In my case they also identified a large transaction which was not within my spending pattern (womens clothing) and they went through recent transactions which I had to identify as authorised or not. The transaction was blocked, the card was blocked and I received another card with a different number and I didn't lose out. I must say they acted very fast.0
