Got 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.

Just 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.

Absolutely not. It's the real deal. I've got their number now. They can verify all the details without a hitch.

Greetings, all!
I was in a bit of a quandary regarding whether this message was dodgy or not, so I decided to give the Causeway Hospital switchboard a bell. As it turns out, the whole thing is absolutely legit! They kindly forwarded me to the Validation Team, who had all my information in order - and yes, everything was spot on. The appointment had been scheduled quite a while back, about two years ago, which left me a bit bewildered (thanks to those pesky delays caused by long Covid, I had completely lost track of my earlier visit to the GP and subsequent referral).
From the operator's almost whispered “not again”, it was clear she’d been inundated by similar queries from folks in the dark like myself. I figured it best to drop a note here to reassure others as well!
Wishing you all the best with your upcoming appointments. Here’s to good health and contentment for everyone!
Cheers, Mark :-)

Hello everyone! Just wanted to share my experience as I noticed I wasn't alone in feeling a bit dubious about that message. I decided to give Causeway Hospital’s switchboard a bell, and I can confirm it was absolutely legit! They kindly transferred me to the Validation Team who had all my information spot on. Apparently, the appointment was set up a couple of years back, which is why it slipped my mind-I'd totally forgotten about my visit to the GP back then and the subsequent referral. The switchboard operator’s whispered "not again" hinted that she’s been inundated with similar queries from folks unsure about the validity of the message, so I thought it might be helpful to drop a note here to put some minds at ease. Wishing everyone the best with your upcoming appointments. Take care and may good health be with you all! Cheers, Mark :-)

Hello there! I’ve just had a look at the number in question, and I can confirm it’s legitimate. It's been nearly two years since my own appointment, so it had slipped my mind entirely. Thankfully, my issue has been sorted out elsewhere. However, if you require assistance with your own matters, I suggest you reach out to them. Wishing you all the best with it! Cheers, Mark.

Apologies to all! I've just realised I've unintentionally sent the same response multiple times. I thought I was just replying to each person's concerns about their phone message possibly being a scam by personalising my reply. It turns out my message got duplicated quite a few times, making it look even more dubious, especially to those of us who are a bit more wary! Ah, sometimes it feels like you just can't win, does it? Wishing you all the best, Mark

I received a message claiming I had an appointment with the rheumatology department, but it’s clearly a scam! What a nuisance!

I just got a text stating that I’m on the waiting list for a surgical procedure at Causeway Hospital. The thing is, I’m not actually awaiting any surgery, so it’s evidently some form of scam. The mobile number from which this message originated is 07786209254.

Like others have mentioned, I received a text saying I'm on a waiting list for Gastroenterology. I'm fairly certain I'm not, so I suspect it might be a scam.

Just got a message saying I'm on a waiting list for a neurology appointment, and it's asking me to reply with 'yes' or 'no' to a specific number. I've got an appointment lined up, but I'm a bit dubious about whether this is genuine or some sort of scam! 🤔

I received a message from this number inquiring if I'd like to stay on their pain management list, asking me to reply with either 'yes' or 'no.' I'm a bit skeptical about whether this is a legitimate call or just a scam.
