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.

I can't find this as a listed hoax but I'm sure Barclays shouldn't need
to be doing this and probably have all needed telephone numbers anyway.

Thanks for any help.
