I got a call from someone claiming to be the post office travel card team saying our card was used without permission. Best thing to do if you get this is to phone the number that's on the back of your travel card yourself. They sorted it out quickly for me that way.

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.

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.

Twice today I got calls, first from this UK number, with a voicemail telling me to ring an Irish number. Later on, the same Irish number called me back and again left a message. Both times they mentioned some “suspicious activity on my credit union account” and even used my full name. The weird part? I don’t even have a Credit Union account. Pretty sure it’s some kind of scam, but a bit more clever than usual. If it were a genuine call from an Irish bank, I doubt they’d handle it so unprofessionally (also, nothing odd showing up on my account at all). Just a heads up to be careful.

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 was about to go away on holiday when I got a message saying there was weird activity on my credit union account, and a payment got held up. They said it was frozen but once I called them back, it got unfrozen. I told them it was a UK number, and they claimed to be from the call centre. I rang back after I got a text which seemed legit, and they showed me the proof of my account activity.

So I got a text, voicemail, and a call all from someone pretending to be my Credit Union. They had a Dublin phone number and knew my name, even named a credit union nearby. Made it sound pretty convincing about some issue with my "account".

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.
