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.

Looks like a scam posing as AIB, so ditch it, alright?
Looks like a Bank of Ireland alert about suspicious activity, FYI.
Wrong number.

I get several calls each day.
I've been getting daily rings from this line for two weeks—looks like a scam.
Calls keep coming back without any voicemail.
I keep receiving many calls from this number, and none include a message.
They called, I hung up as soon as I picked up, then blocked the number.
Anyone feeling adventurous, let me know, okay?
My phone is constantly making outgoing calls to this number, and I have no idea who or what is behind it.
