Barclays customers, I can fuck with YOU

So today I lost my card, bit annoying but no big deal. I called Barclays to cancel it. Hung around on the phone a while, which was nice. I got a very friendly chap called Paul. He took my account number and sort code, read me my name, read me the first couple of lines of my address. I helpfully agreed to this information. Then he told me my card was blocked and another on it’s way.

Now that’s what I call connivence! I can easily cancel any Barclay customer’s card without the effort of phishing or bin diving any more information than their account number and sort code. I can even get extra information like their name and home address.
