BOI: Visa Debit Security Text

Somnus

Hi, I received a text this afternoon asking me to contacy Bank of Ireland Visa Debit Security on the number +35314885466 and to quote a reference number.

I'm wary of a scam so just wondering is this a legitimate message and help number?

Thanks

Hello! 

I got a text last night from the Ireland Visa Debit Security, to confirm my latest transactions, from this number +353861800531
I was just wondering if this is a real number or not? 

Thank you!
