called me twice, first from this UK number, left a voice message instructing me to call an Irish number. Then later in the day they called from said Irish number. Left a voice message again, both times claiming they wanted to talk about "suspicious transactions on my credit union account". They even knew my name and surname. Problem is, I don't have a Credit Union account. Be aware, seems to be a scam more well thought than usual. If this was a legitimate call from my IRISH bank, I wouldn't even wanna know, that would be very unprofessional (I don't see anything suspicious on my account, btw)
