08000859916 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08000859916 👆 is reported as a mixed case with this number; several users confirm it is a legitimate call centre linked to Post Office Travel Card or credit unions, primarily in Ireland and the UK, used to verify suspicious transactions. However, many also describe unclear or suspicious behaviour, such as unusual audio, abrupt hang-ups, repeated calls, or requests for personal details, raising concerns about potential scams. The number often leaves voicemails urging recipients to call back, and some users advise contacting the official bank or card provider directly to confirm authenticity. Caution is recommended: do not provide full bank details or sensitive information without verifying through official channels, and if unsure, ring your bank or credit union independently.

I decided to look up the number on Google before answering. It seemed really sketchy to me. Initially, the caller said they were ringing from some "charity aid foundation," but that didn’t line up with what others have said about this number. I reckon it’s probably a scam. They also brought up something about suspicious activity on my account, which made me uneasy since lots of folks have said they were grilled about their bank info. Honestly, I’d steer clear of this one.

This number keeps calling me and acting like they’re from my bank, but it’s definitely not them.

Sounds like it’s about the Post Office Travel card if they’ve called you. They actually left a voicemail asking me to ring the number on the back of my card. When I did, they said it was definitely their line and the message was legit. If you’re not sure, just give their customer service a ring on this number: 020 7937 0280.

Got a call from this number about an issue I had with my Post Office Travel Card. They rang up to let me know everything was sorted out. It was actually quite helpful.

I answered a call from a number I didn't know, but the sound was really fuzzy and hard to hear. I think they said “hello” followed by my name, but it was all muffled or something. Since I wasn’t expecting anyone and couldn’t really talk properly, I just ended the call straight away. Could’ve been a scam, not 100% sure though.

I got a call from what sounded like a bank call centre, checking some transactions on my card. At first, I was a bit unsure, but after ringing my bank myself, they told me the call was legit.

So I’m based in Ireland and saw I missed a call from this number. Later, I got a voicemail saying I should get in touch with my credit union about some dodgy activity on my debit card. I decided to ring my bank and luckily it was all legit - they just wanted to check a couple of my recent transactions that seemed a bit off.

just a heads up, if something seems off and you don’t feel comfortable picking up, you can always ring their irish number from their site. they’ll probably only want basic info like your first name, last name, and the last 4 digits of your phone. stay safe!

Yeah this number is real, I'm in Ireland and got called from what was supposedly An Post banking. I decided to call the bank myself and found out it's actually a call centre based in the UK that they use. The call was about verifying some unusual transactions but they were mine. I didn’t pick up at first and my card had been blocked, but when I phoned the bank back, they sorted it and reactivated it. So if you get a call from this number and don't wanna talk, just give your bank or post office a bell to check.

I just finished a bank transfer and moments later my phone rings. The caller seemed to know exactly the amount and the place where I used the money. Not sure if this is some kind of scam or just a weird coincidence.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from the post office about my card account, they already had some of my info and phone numbers. They then tried to get into my HSBC account, saying it’d been hacked. When they couldn’t get access, they just hung up. Reported it to both the bank and the post office straight away.

I'm about to head off on a holiday, and I've just been informed that my credit union account had some suspicious activity flagged. A payment was temporarily blocked, but it was sorted out after I got back in touch with them. The number was from the UK, and I was told it was their call centre. However, I did call back once I received the text confirming the legitimacy of the call, and they managed to verify my transactions without any hassle.

They asserted they were from the Credit Union. They shot me a text, gave me a ring, and even dropped a voicemail that included a Dublin contact number concerning my "account." They used my name and even referenced a local credit union.

Today, being St. Patrick's Day, I got a rather alarming call from this number. The person on the other end claimed there was some dodgy activity linked to my credit union account. They kicked things off by asking if it was indeed me, using my full name. Quite unsettling, to say the least!

I got a call about my phone travel card and agreed to chat, but then they wanted to ask me some security questions. I told them I'd rather hear what answers they had on file for me instead, and after that, they went completely quiet. Pretty sure it’s a scam, so best to steer clear or just mess with them a bit.

Received a call from someone purporting to be with Pure Card Services. They addressed me by my name and were quite insistent on verifying some personal information. Not feeling great about it, I ended the call and dialled the official number listed on the Pure Card website. Thankfully, they reassured me that my card was perfectly fine, with no fraud issues whatsoever.

Was it a ghost or someone with a gun? Either way really frustrating. This number kept calling but went silent when I answered (I thought it might be urgent). Tried ringing back but it won’t take any calls. No voicemail either. Proper annoying!
