    "Thank you for your enquiry with Club Travel. Your reference number is *******. If you would like to proceed with your booking please call **** at <snip>."

    Only problem is I definitely didnt make any enquiry or booking. Ive no idea who club travel are. Strange...can anyone shed some light ?

    Someone got a quote over the phone and gave your number by mistake. Ignore it, or if you want, ring them up, give the reference number and tell them its wrong.

    Sounds legit. I'd say someone booked something and the agent filled in the wrong mobile number.

    I googled them and they seem to be a legit company so youre probably right. My first thought was that it was some sort of scam.

    The phone numbers dont match what it says on the website. Though it is close.

    Could be an agent's direct line, which generally aren't public. They would only be given to customers they are working with.

    the number and text could be due to one of the many travel brands that they have hoovered up over the last number of months (budget travel) being the latest http://www.rte.ie/business/2010/0122/budgettravel.html
