-
Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at Barclays Bank by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- Barclays Bank never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
-
The spoof website this email links to was not online at time of this report, but variations of the scam which link to working websites are bound to exist, so be wary! The website may have been taken down or disabled by the hosts, but quite often these websites are hosted on the personal computer of the phishers, so may only be online at certain times.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website has been chosen to look very similar to the actual Barclays Bank URL. Do not be fooled!

"Our anti-fraud department detected that the amount on your
account exceeds two thousand pounds."

Dear Barclays Customer
Our anti-fraud department detected that the amount on your
account exceeds two thousand pounds. To prevent any attempt of
a third person to access your business/personal account we have
developed a unique security system which enables us to eliminate
any possibility of unauthorized access.
The core of this new security system is an authorization of every
transaction made from your business/personal account. The
authorization will be successful after you enter a correct security
pin number from your personal pin card:
- Security number contains of 6 digits
- Pin card contains a list of 300 unique pin numbers which can
be used for confirmation of your transactions
In cases where the pin number is entered three times incorrectly,
your account will automatically be suspended. The security number
can only be used once and becomes invalid after the transaction is ended.
To apply for the Online Guard protection system you need to click the
link below and follow the instructions on screen. If we do not hear from
you within 14 days your account will be suspended.
At the last stage of your registration you will be asked to enter the
address where you would like your pin card to be delivered, including
full postal code. Please make sure you enter these details correctly
to avoid any delay.
The card will be delivered to you within 14 days after your application
was is submited. In the meantime you can continue to use
your business account as usual
