Got a call on my mobi yesterday from a number - 016410000 I tried to ring back but it doesnt ring it makes a strange noise so it must be a dial out only number - anyone recognise it?

A lot of AIB's numbers start with 641 - anyone from AIB be calling you?

Mini thread bump

I got a missed call the same number as Siogfinsceal. Did a google and found this thread.

The day before I got a missed call from a weird number 000000 :eek:

Very weird seeing as you are both in different hemispheres.

Doesn't give much specific information on it, but at least you know it's from Dublin I guess..

Well the 00000 number was obviously the Ghost of Christmas Present.
The other one was either past or future.

Probably future reminding you to buy that Turkey in the butcher shop window.

I think it's santy's little helpers. I heard you fell into the grey area between "naughty" and "nice" known as "chancer".

Due to cutbacks, the little helpers are ringing around to try categorise those people to avoid giving all "chancers" pressies as in previous years.

That'll be Santa Clause's fax machine. Stick your television onto a channel that hasn't been tuned in and play the audible snow to the fax and it'll send you your bestest Christmas present via reindeer.

Slightly offtopic but what was that website where you could search for details behind those spam txts? I keep getting ones from a number 57080 and when I tried replying with the word stop, i got subscribed to something else. It's very irritating as I get three a day

I think its here, bottom o' the page. The number you posted showed up as:

57080 Provider: Opera Telecom Tel: 0818 286 606

Pretty sure it's AIB, I've got calls from the number before anyway too.

Rabies

Nice one, thanks.
They should send a text message to say who it was

Very weird seeing as you are both in different hemispheres.

I still have my Irish mobile, but it is rarely used on only switched on here and there.

I got that too - I found out the person was using Skype to call me. So dunno if that is normal?

Rabies

Does any know if that is normal for a Skype call to come up like that?

That's a Sri Lankan number. Maybe the Tamil Tigers have a recruitment drive on at the moment.

Not sure, but sometimes calls from your mobile operator will come up with "00000". It may depend on the caller's telecoms infrastructure (PSTN, VoIP, etc) & how the network you are on deals with incoming calls from that infrastructure.

It's your future self calling you to tell you not to bother freezing yourself to speed up the wait for the PS3, as you'll wake up in the distant future where technology is far too advanced to find a telly to play it on.

But seriously.

It's AIB 24 hour banking, I used to work for them.

The number is for AIB credit card services

You'll receive a call from this number if you haven't paid your c/c in time

If you need to respond and they have not left a voicemail, and they won't, you can dial 016685566

Yep its definitely AIB, they call me sometimes.

Its more than likely market research so no worries about missing it!

I got missed calls from this number also for last couple of evenings at same time. Regarding comment above re not paying cc on time, I have paid my bill so is there other reason AIB would ring from this number? Has anyone actually spoken to someone ringing from this number?

Actually it's because Google shows this thread.

haha interesting! If you search for 016410000 this is the top find!
Ok, so maybe yee new posters are genuine... welcome to boards.ie!

Sometimes if you make a purchase, they do a random check - especially if it's for a small amount to ensure you've not fallen prey to credit card fraud.

midorigirl

They don't leave a message so you can't call back. Was busy most of this evening and had 3 missed calls from them on my phone. No voicemail left. Very annoying to call people few times in an evening but yet leave no message and call from a number that can't be called back on.

Hi, just joined as googled the number 016410000 and you guys came up..
I've had 12 calls from this number in the last week, new bill phone contract from vodafone and haven't given the new number out yet, as using up the end of my 3 contract.

Calls started mainly around lunchtime, now always after 6pm, when you try to answer, it just hangs up and to ring back, the number comes back as not in service?? Rang Vodafone just there, they can't really do anything but gave me a number to ring, a telephone regulator, who might be able to help.. 1850 741741. I'm not with AIB so a bit perplexed! Any help gratefully received, as it's getting a bit annoying! Thanks

diddelyider

i do not have a credit card but i do have an over draft could they be ringing to get it sorted

unclebill98

Amazing. I goggle that number and I find the top search is Boards....... 4 missed calls and no voice mail... tut tut....

Irishshin

Got this number past two days
Very strange, I have an acct with AIB but they don't have my mobile number only home phone.

And yup I googled the number and this is thread is the first one that pops up

Did you try ringing your network provider, they can sometimes help, they helped me unsubscribe before and even gave me free credit to do it.

towel401

only if you get a call from a number starting with +88 or +87 should you be worried. especially if you're a beour
