Unknown calls in Ireland
Unsure about an Irish number? Explore concise community reports to judge calls and texts. In Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick you’ll see both legitimate callbacks (deliveries, banking, appointments) and waves of robocalls or phishing. Prefixes like 01 (Dublin), 021 (Cork), 091 (Galway), 061 (Limerick), 051 (Waterford) and mobile ranges (083/085/086/087/089) don’t reliably prove location/identity due to portability and VoIP — use them as context, not proof.
Verification: return calls via the official number on the company website/app, check in‑app notices, and never share one‑time codes by phone. Use device/carrier filters (e.g., 0818 shared‑cost, 1800 toll‑free) for repeat issues and leave a short, factual note here to help others.
Supposedly missed your call, according to the ring.
Brief calls register as missed; returning triggers a recorded prompt to contact via WhatsApp – best to avoid, it's a scam.
I received a terrible call from this number after posting a regular ad on DoneDeal.
Unsolicited call from a number resembling a friend’s; no voicemail was left, so better ignore.
This is a total scam dont fall for it
It's unusual for someone to make a call from a landline in Belmullet, which raises suspicions of a potential scam.
User marks this as a warning
Telefonisch meldete sich eine Frau mit starkem osteuropäischem Akzent, nannte meinen Namen und behauptete, ich hätte vor einigen Monaten an einem Gewinnspiel teilgenommen und gewonnen. Ich wies darauf hin, dass ich nichts weiß, sie gab keine weiteren Infos und legte auf.
Behauptetes Gewinnspiel, lachhaft.
I couldn’t identify the purpose of this unknown call; it seemed like a random outreach.
User indicated this as Caution.
User classified this as Bad.
Considered irritating.
Posed as PayPal, obviously a scam
Aggressive advertising that wouldn't let me end the call. Very pushy sales pitch.
I’m uncertain about this line; the caller claimed to be a Waterford guard about a Kilmeaden crash, mentioned possible prosecution, never asked for money, and used a different name, so it feels like a genuine mix‑up but still dubious.
Another unknown call that felt neutral; nothing suspicious stood out.
Just a random call from an unknown number. Nothing noteworthy, but it was polite enough.
Got a spam SMS from aib; the message was generic and clearly unsolicited.
