Don't heed this, they don't alert you by email. If anything is wrong they will send you a letter or ring you on the phone. Just delete it, its a scam!!!

It's supposed to be from security@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx It reads SUBJECT: Barclays security important alert! Message reads: 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.
