Extremely unlikely - the "701" and "700" telephone codes are a dead giveaway that a fraud is involved. - they are numbers which can be redirected anywhere in the world.

Apart from the information given by Maggie, there are other indicators that this is fraudulent. Firstly, the name "Barnsley County Bank plc UK" - "plc" (public limited company" is always the LAST element in the name of a company which is quoted on the Stock Exchange - there is never an element like "UK" following it. Secondly, Barnsley is a town, not a county, so no business would ever misname itself in this way - in fact, a check on Companies House - http://companieshouse.gov.uk/ shows that there are no registered businesses anywhere in the UK, of any type, whose name begins "Barnsley County...".

To correct Maggie, not all phone numbers beginning +44-7 are suspicious - all mobile numbers in the UK will begin with either +44-77, +44-78 or +44-79. It's just ones beginning +44-70 which can be redirected anywhere in the world.

I do echo Maggie's advice - under NO circumstances should you ever send money to these people, nor give any bank account or other identifying information.

Is this the same one?

This is a SCAM on a SCAM. This scam preys on people who have already been scammed and pretends to be helping them to recoup their money. In fact you will only get scammed AGAIN. It is probably the same people who scammed you before coming back for another go.

SCAM Clues

There is no such bank. Superdrug chemists are at 14 Broadway, Bradford and the postcode is BD1 1EY. The postcode BD1 1EZ is for the Yorkshire Bank on Broadway, Bradford.
The English is very bad.
They use 07 nos for contact (+447.....) Untraceable 'follow me' nos that can be redirected anywhere in the world
They use free email account for contact. (yahoo, hotmail, msn etc) no real companies use free email accounts
They ask you to send money by Western Union or Money Gram. No real company would not ask you to use this method of transferring money and why would a bank use this method of transferring money?
They ask you to provide them with personal information (passport details, address, bank details etc)

Do not respond to them - you will be put on a 'mugs list' and your details sold to other criminals. (This is what has happened here)

Do not send them money - You will be helping to fund criminals and possibly terrorists.

Do not send money via Western Union to anyone you don't know personally. It's untraceable and irretrievable.
Do not give them any personal details - beware of identity theft or bank fraud. Your identity may also be used to commit further crimes against innocent people and this could cause you serious problems in the future.

If you have given them any details, please read this.

Please let as many people as you can know about this by emailing your address book and asking them to also pass it on. Knowledge is the only way to stop these criminals
