Based on 12 community reports
This number, associated with Gamma Telecom Holdings, is frequently reported as a scam. Callers are impersonating Barclays Bank, often leaving automated messages about alleged fraud on your account or failed payments. They may also send texts that look like they're from your bank. Some reports mention the caller knowing details like payment amounts, which can be worrying, but this is a common tactic used in impersonation scams. Do not call this number back or give out any personal information.

Left an automated message on my answer machine saying they were from the Barclays fraud department. No chance I am calling it back.

Unexpected dodgy call late afternoon Sunday 12/4/26. Probably a scam.
Pretended to be from Barclays - sent me texts that looked like Barclays and left a message.
Impersonating bank officials
I got a message about 3 recent payments and they called after - they left a voice message but it sounded automated - looked up the number and found this page so think its a scam even though they knew 2 payments today including how much, which is worrying
We are a charity and it was about fraud on an account from a former employee.
Person said they were from Barclays wanting to talk about payments from my mum's account. She didn't share any bank details, but after checking the number, I'm not sure if it's real, so I will talk to the bank to clarify.
Seriously concerning
This number keeps calling citing my details which is worrying
