Barclaycard

I got the above travel platinum card mentioned on here a few months ago so I could withdraw Euros abroad.

I thought I'd warn people who also have it that may get a text saying the following:
Your scheduled payout needs confirmation. Verify your account.
It then gives a website link to click. Needless to say, I didn't click it and was immediately suspicious as I knew I'd set up a DD, which had been collected previously with no issues.

I phoned Barclaycard and they confirmed it was indeed a scam.

I know most if everyone on here would know not to click the link but I thought I'd put it out there in case someone who doesn't pay by DD gets caught out.
