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)

Call centre for various card banking services. Was genuine call but checked through my actual card telephone number to confirm. Apparently the UK number is referred to when there is an expenditure query.
