The high-profile chairman of Barclays Bank has become the latest victim of identity fraud after a conman stole £10,000 from his personal account in a credit card scam.Marcus Agius, 61, who took over as Barclays chairman last January, lost the money after a fraudster convinced a call centre worker to issue a credit card in his name.
Armed with the card and personal details about Mr Agius, the conman went to a Barclays branch and withdrew £10,000 of the banking executive’s money.
Barclays, which has initiated a security review after the incident, said Mr Agius, who is paid £800,000 a year plus bonuses, has been reimbursed in full.
