Warning - being scammed by John Abraham

Well it's an attempt at fraud, so the only way to escalate it would be to call the police. However, they are unlikely (and when I say "unlikely" I mean "it is completely beyond the bounds of all possibility") that they would do anything about it. There are tens of thousands of these happening every day and in your case you didn't even get caught by it.

Report it to Action Fraud.

This OP has a history of posting things about Barclays (see their other threads for more), so I wonder if this is their next thing?

I get these regularly and have great fun with them.
Windows?
Yes they need cleaning
Computer?
You are going to give me a free computer? How lovely.
There's a problem with my computer?
Oh! I'd better get one so I can have a problem with it.
etc etc. . .
While I'm wasting their time,they're not annoying someone else.
