Abuser: Same people who run the Royal Mail Scam I believe
Call centre pretending to be Barclays Fraud team sucking people into their narrative. Scaring people their funds aren't safe. Especially when they call after trying to defraud you off money from your current account. Then they want to see where the security breach might be. This particular bunch was running a copy of my Barclays app so they were able to see exactly what was going in and out of my account, which not just made them more believable (heck they were more professional than Barclays Fraud team themselves) but also able to see that I made regular payments to Binance. Since FCA issues around Binance, Barclays supposedly had direct line to Binance Fraud team and they wanted to increase my security by moving fund into different wallet on the exchange. lost nearly 3btc in 2 transactions to this and another address, which was then moved on to further addresses pretty swiftly.
