Phone number ☎️ 02870346242 👆 is reported as a genuine contact number for the Northern Trust NHS Northern Ireland hospital appointment validation office, particularly linked to Causeway Hospital. Multiple users have confirmed the legitimacy by verifying details with hospital switchboard staff, who acknowledged frequent public caution due to message timing or delays. However, a few have expressed uncertainty, suspecting scams when receiving texts about waiting lists for various departments, sometimes with prompts to reply by text. Users are advised to verify any messages by calling the official hospital switchboard before responding. In cases of doubt, blocking or ignoring suspicious texts is recommended, but the official Validation Office number aligns with NHS procedures to confirm or update appointment status.

6 monthsDefinately a scam, no doubt about it.9 monthsGot a text supposedly from the Waiting List Validation Office about a hospital appointment, coming from the number (028 7034 6242). I tried calling back, but after waiting for ages, I just got a message saying the number wasn’t recognised. Feels like a total scam to me.Waiting List Validation Office3 yearsThis isn’t spam at all. It’s actually the Northern Trust’s outpatient booking team. They normally send a text telling you to ring this number if you want to be removed from the waiting list, especially since the wait times can be ages and sometimes people no longer need the appointment. I gave them a call myself and it’s definitely genuine.Northern Trust3 yearsJust so you all know, 02870346242 is the number you get a text from to confirm hospital appointments with the Northern Trust NHS in Northern Ireland.Northern Trust NHSNorthern Ireland3 yearsNah, it’s legit. I’ve checked them out and they can verify all the details correctly.4 yearsHey all, I wasn’t sure if the call I received was a scam at first, so I decided to call Causeway Hospital’s main number myself. Turns out it was totally legit. They connected me to the Validation Team who already had all my correct info on file. The appointment was actually booked two years back, which I’d completely forgotten about because of delays from long Covid and all. I think the switchboard lady was a bit fed up too, saying “not again” quietly, probably because loads of people have been confused like me. I promised her I’d share my experience here to help put others’ minds at ease. Wishing everyone the best with their appointments - stay safe and well! Cheers, Mark :)Causeway HospitalValidation TeamCovidMark4 yearsHey folks. I was a bit iffy at first, thinking the text might be some sort of scam, so I gave Causeway Hospital a bell on their main line. Turns out the call was legit, they connected me straight to the Validation Team who confirmed everything - my info was spot on. The appointment had actually been booked a good couple of years back, which explained why I’d totally forgotten about it (guess I had no idea I got referred by my GP then). When I spoke to the switchboard lady, she muttered something like “not again” under her breath, so looks like loads of people have been ringing up unsure about the same message. I told her I’d drop a line here to help clear things up for anyone else in the same boat. Sending best wishes to everyone with upcoming appointments! Stay safe and take care! Mark :)Causeway HospitalValidation TeamMark4 yearsHey there, I looked up this number and it seems legit. It’s been nearly a couple of years since I booked an appointment with them and honestly, I’d completely forgotten until I saw this. My issue got sorted out through a different place, but if you’re still after help with your situation, you should definitely reach out to them. Hope it works out for you, cheers, Mark.Mark4 yearsHey there! I looked up the number and it’s definitely legit. I made an appointment there maybe two years ago and totally forgot about it since then. Luckily, I sorted my problem out somewhere else, but if you still need to get checked for your problem, I’d say give them a ring. Best of luck sorting it out! Cheers, MarkMark4 yearsHey there. I looked up the number and it seems legit. My appointment was set around 2 years ago, and honestly, I had no memory of it until now. Luckily, I got my issue sorted out somewhere else. But if you still need help with your problem, I’d say give them a call. Best of luck sorting it out! Cheers, MarkMark4 yearsHey there. I looked up the number and it seems to be legit. I had an appointment with them a couple years ago, so it slipped my mind. Luckily, I had my issue sorted out somewhere else. But if you’re still needing help with whatever your problem is, I’d say give them a shout. Hope it goes well for you, cheers, MarkCheersMark4 yearsHey there. I looked up this number and it’s legit. I made an appointment with them a couple of years ago and totally forgot about it since. Luckily, I ended up sorting my problem out somewhere else. But if you still have an issue or need to see them for anything, I’d say go ahead and give them a ring. Hope it goes well for you. Cheers, MarkCheersMark4 yearsHey there! I looked up the number and it turns out it’s legit. I’d booked an appointment nearly two years ago and had completely forgotten about it. Luckily, my issue got sorted out somewhere else in the meantime. But if you still need to see someone about your problem, I’d definitely say give them a ring. Wishing you the best! Cheers, MarkCheersMark4 yearsApologies all, just realised I accidentally posted the same comment over and over again. I was trying to answer each person who thought their call was a scam, thinking my responses would only go to them. Turns out, they ended up showing up loads of times online, which probably made me look like a dodgy caller myself, especially if you’re as wary as I am. Oh well, guess you can’t win every time! Cheers, MarkMark4 yearsGot a text about an appointment with rheumatology... total scam, don't fall for it!4 yearsGot a text telling me i'm supposedly on a surgery waiting list at Causeway hospital. Thing is, I’m not waiting for any surgery, so this has got to be some sort of scam. The message came from the number 07786209254 on my phone.Causeway Hospital4 yearsJust like others have mentioned, I got a text saying I'm on a waiting list for Gastroenterology, which I’m not even on. So yeah, I reckon it’s a scam.4 yearsGot a text sayin I'm on some waiting list for neurology, and it asked me to reply yes or no to a number. I defo have an appointment booked but this feels a bit sus, not sure if it’s legit or just some scam 🤔4 yearsGot an obvious scam call today.4 yearsMy phone showed a warning, so I figured it was probably a scam. I didn’t hang about and blocked the number straight away.4 yearsThat 02870346242 number is a scam, just a heads up.4 yearsJust got a similar message but about Thoracic medicine now. Total scam, best to ignore and not respond.4 yearsGot this text recently and checked the number - it’s a total scam. Don’t bother replying to it. The message says you’re on some waiting list for PAIN MANAGEMENT at Northern Trust. It asks you to reply YES 2669 to stay on or NO 2669 to be taken off the list. If you don’t reply, they say they’ll just assume you don’t want an appointment. They also give a number - 02870346242 - for questions, but it’s all fake. If you already answered, just forget about it. Stay safe!FRAUDNorthern TrustValidation Office4 yearsI got a voicemail from this number asking if I wanted to stay on their pain management list and to reply with yes or no... honestly, I'm a bit confused if it's legit or just some scam.Submit Your Own Report (028 7034 6242)
