British banking giant issues crucial warning to ALL customers over worrying message that could drain your account
BRITS are being cautioned over a worrying message that could leave them out of pocket. A major UK bank has issued a warning on how to stay vigilant against scammers. 1 Barclays has revealed a key sign to look out for to spot illegitimate messages from a bank. One customer has contacted Barclays over social media to confirm if the SMS they had received was real. The message read: "BARCLAYS: Your OTP code to approve a debit of 3733.50 to AVIVA is 44346. If you did NOT do this call us on 0330 133 0198 Ref: BR45." The number which sent the text had a "+447" prefix. The customer posted a screenshot of the message with a caption: "Is this a legit number for you to use to contact people?" Barclays responded: "I can assure you that we would never text from a number that is +44." The bank has also asked if the customer was a client of Aviva. "If not, then this would certainly seem to be a scam text in my opinion. If you would like to make sure that your account is safe then you can certainly give a call to our fraud team on 0800 3891 652 and their lines are open 24/7 for you." In response, the customer confirmed that they had never interacted with AVIVA. Scammers frequently pose as representatives of banks or other respectable organisations in order to send SMS and emails to victims.

Police make 10 arrests over phone shop robberies
Ten people have been arrested as part of a police investigation into a string of robberies at phone shops. Detectives have been trying to identify an organised crime gang believed to be behind 13 robberies in London and across the south and east of England. Eight men, aged between 20 and 31, and two 17-year-old boys were arrested at addresses in London and later charged with conspiracy to commit robbery and remanded in custody, the Metropolitan Police said. Staff at the shops were said to have been threatened by individuals who "often had their faces covered and were sometimes armed with weapons", police added. The robberies happened between February and early June and were part of a "concerted effort to steal phones and sell them overseas", detectives said. Thousands of pounds worth of new phones were taken from secure rooms at stores in what police described as "similar incidents". Police said the robberies were reported at shops in Staines, Ilford, Hackney, Huntingdon, Orpington, East Grinstead, Alton, Clacton-on-Sea, Horsham, St Alban's, Ipswich, Stamford and Eastleigh. Detective Chief Inspector Laura Hillier said: "Phone robbery has boomed globally, and London is not immune. "There is a concerted effort by criminal gangs to steal phones and sell them overseas as part of a multi-million-pound industry. "The Met is catching more of these criminals and operations such as this are vital to disrupting offenders who cause fear and misery to shop workers and communities."

German Court fines FA over 2026 World Cup-related payment
FRANKFURT, Germany, June 25 (Reuters) - A German Court on Wednesday fined the German Football Association (DFB) just over 100,000 euros in relation to a World Cup 2006-related payment which had been at the heart of a years-long scandal that tarnished the reputation of the tournament. The DFB said it took note of Frankfurt Regional Court's decision on Wednesday, adding that an appeal was possible but it would first study the written verdict once published. The case regarding a payment of 6.7 million euros ($7.8 million) made two decades ago damaged the image of the global showpiece event held in Germany. At the heart of the case that dragged through the legal system and involved several other separate investigations is the payment linked to a 2006 World Cup-related event that never took place. The tax return included a 6.7 million euro payment from the DFB to world soccer's governing body FIFA for the 2006 World Cup, although the funds were actually used for another purpose and should not have been offset against tax, prosecutors had said. "According to the ruling, the court assumes that the DFB fully declared and taxed its income from the 2006 World Cup. However, it believes that the 6.7 million euros should have been deducted for tax purposes in 2002, not in 2006," the DFB said in a statement. "The Regional Court imposed a fine of 130,000 euros on the DFB because it ruled in isolation on the year 2006 and did not take into account the excessive tax paid for 2002," the DFB said. "The DFB only has to pay 110,000 euros because the court deducted 20,000 euros due to the excessive length of the proceedings. In April, the same court had discharged former DFB President Theo Zwanziger after ordering him to pay a 10,000-euro fine. The payment in question had triggered investigations over allegations it had been used as a slush fund to buy votes in favour of Germany's bid to host the 2006 tournament. A DFB-commissioned investigation in 2016 had said the sum was the return of a loan via FIFA from former Adidas chief Robert Louis-Dreyfus. The German tax office ordered the DFB in 2017 to pay more than 20 million euros in back taxes related to the year 2006. The tournament was nicknamed the "summer fairytale" because of the home team's run to the semi-finals, and the sold-out stadiums and outdoor viewing areas across the country which attracted hundreds of thousands of fans.
