    Edit: just saw you've tried calling it back.

    Only numbers that have called me but barred incoming calls were banks.

    Does it just keep saying call dropped or something like that? It'll be a call centre of some sort. The have banks of numbers that show up when they ring you but they dont accept incoming calls.

    Dont worry OP, if it is important enough they will call you back.
    If it is really important they will start a thread in After Hours.

    I'm so glad I found this thread. It's the prince of Nigeria, He's stuck at the airport. I arranged to pick him up earlier, but my dog ate my car. Any chance you'd pop out and get him? If you've got a trailer big enough for a big check, bring it.

    Scope of thread has expanded from one specific number to anyone ever getting a missed call from any number in cork. This could be a long thread!

    Hate it when this happens - last night at 23.56 the phone went and immediately left a SMS as well from a UK number, which I took to mean it was an automated systems call from someone I didn't need to talk to. Predictably they didnt get back.

    Sucker!!!!
    If you're picking him up, make sure it's cash he has: I'd say his cheques could be dodgy...

    I have a script running that calls random mobile numbers and the odd landline from a selection of different unused Cork numbers. It was probably one of them

    Due to someone having a sense of humour there's a fairly big call centre down in Cork run by Abtran who deal with a number of things including Sky and Irish Water.

    Whoever thought it was a good idea to set up a call centre where only people within a 5 mile radius of it could understand what was being said...
