Another e-mail scam to beware of

Oh yes they do.  Well, Barclays do every time I go in there.

I haven't been near an actual branch for yonks. I can do everything I need to on the apps.

Got to say that's exactly the same for me & I have never received a phone call from either of my banks, if I did  I would be very suspicious, same goes for all my utilities they never contact me unless I request something which is never.

Barclays, which is the bank mentioned here, send me secure messages through in app notifications. They have no need to phone me at all.

Actually, it was Woolich, as I refused to use Barclays due to previous problems over 30 years ago.

Trouble is, Barclays then bought Woolich, grrr 

Just be grateful that they hadn't banned you

Well, actually, now you mention it, there is a story there. Twice. .  Neither actually result in a ban as such, but escorted off the premises for one, and given a bung gesture of goodwill not to make a scene on the other.

The Barclays app is one of the better ones....

...unless you happen to change phone (or factory reste your Apple piece of shit because Apple insist you do) and because you rarely use the account, Barclays CBA to send a replacement debit card...


Bless 'em. self-abusers.

Most banks don't automatically issue new cards unless you've used the old one within the last xxx months nowadays. My lad had to chat through the app to get them to issue one.

Oh, and back to the original thing about suckers and scams, Google released some research they had done on email scams (because it was based around Gmail), and the US and UK are top targets. US because of sheer population size, and UK because the UK have a high proportion of suckers per populous.

I always said we'd bred a nation of thick idiots  .


It went more into demographics as well, including the types of people likely to be tricked, and their age groups.  But there was nothing surprising, as it matched all other research, ie, over 40s with an element of disposable income being most likely to succumb.

Yup, that was the initial response of the chick I called, use the app to order a new card.

The reason I wanted the card was to reinstall the app, the irony of which was lost on her.  But she was pleasant, friendly, and eventually agreed to get me a replacement card, on the condition that I use it


So I got the card, reinstalled the app, and plan on shredding the card as soon as I move the money out of the accounts

Had a new one today allegedly from eBay in the form of an email thanking me for updating my personal details ( which I hadn't) and if this was incorrect to click on the link so I could probably give a pile of personal details away, what a bunch of cu**s thinking I would fall for that shite.

Stop congratulating yourselves on spotting scam emails that a five year old would not be taken in by. There are some very professional con merchants out there and, if they decide to target you, and the timing is right, you'd be surprised just how convincing they can be.
