Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at Barclays by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- Barclays 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 URL. Do not be fooled!

Dear customer,
Due to the dramatic increase in cases of online banking fraud, we took
certain measures with the purpose of increasing the security level
which will allow to keep your funds in perfect safety.
For the new security system to be efficient, you have to give us your
‘emergency’ phone number, using which our managers can contact you if
necessary. We recommend using your mobile phone or a phone by which you
are most reachable for our staff.
Please note that this procedure is really important and crucial. We will
monitor all the clients’ funds 24h a day, and in case of a slightest
fraud suspicion our managers will call up the customers to clear the
details and confirm or cancel a payment.
To add your emergency number, please authorize yourself and follow the
system tips.
To start the authorization procedure, please click this link.
