Check unknown Irish numbers with recent reports (Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick) and share your experience.
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.
After answering, only two seconds of silence before the call dropped, which was irritating.

Fraudulent number
I feel unsafe.
They called my number, and after I answered, the call was immediately disconnected.
Overall, the vibe feels relaxed.
It looks like a scam: someone posed as a bank representative, even using the bank’s former name, and talked extremely quickly. They already knew my first and last name and requested personal details such as my date of birth. I asked for clarification, but she repeated the same rapid, barely intelligible spiel. I warned that I couldn’t follow if she kept speaking that fast, and she abruptly hung up without responding.
A caller claimed to represent a bank and mentioned an issue with my account. When I asked for details, she said it concerned transferring accounts. I offered to call back, and she confirmed I could use that same number. I mentioned I'd call the number listed on the website, and she suggested that or going to a branch. It seemed she sensed I wasn't falling for it. I’d been duped by a comparable scam earlier this year, so I'm more cautious now. The call occurred on May 2nd.
I received a call alleging to be from PTSB about an incorrect email on my account; they mentioned my previous address, but I refused to share the new one and told them I'd update it myself, then contacted my bank to report it.

Unwanted promotional call.
The phone rings, then disconnects as soon as you answer.
This appears to be a scammer.
My mother received a call where the caller asked her name twice before hanging up right away.
When I picked up, a man greeted me with a simple 'Hello'; after I asked his identity and he replied with 'who are you', I ended the call and blocked the number.
They rang several evenings during dinner, and when I picked up there was no answer, so I blocked the number.
They called but left no voicemail. When I tried the number again, the message said, "this Google member does not subscribe to voice messages."
They called but failed to leave any voicemail.

Use the official number listed on the company website/app and check in‑app messages; avoid calling back the unknown number.
No. Portability/VoIP make geographic/mobile ranges unreliable as location proof.
Delivery updates, bank callbacks, 2FA codes; robocalls, parcel/account phishing, scripted sales.
