Is The 08081697786 Barclays Bank Letter Fraudulent?

Yesterday, scammers sent me a Barclays Bank letter asking me to call 08081697786. The letter claims Barclays Bank wants to give me money back from a credit card I had years ago. It then requested my bank details and claimed I have 30 days to provide the information. But, because I am no fool, I contacted Barclays directly and was told the letter is fraudulent because they would never put a time limit on money owned and if there are no bank details, they would send a cheque.
