Customer Care agent confirmed that this was a number that they used and the SMS has a character limit, which is why the contact name came up as ElecIreland. As others have said, it is an odd way to do business.
Had received text then Got call spoke with them - gave my email Address only but was suspicious. Called electric ireland. They said it’s a scam they never text people. I called bank and they said to now beware of emails from them asking for more details as they have my email. 🙄
Caller rang to extend Electric Ireland contract. I subsequently contacted Electric ireland sales team who confirmed it was one of their representatives that had contacted me at that exact time. Seems OK but strange way of doing things.
Called me twice 13th and tonight.
13th I said I had no time to talk they said it was Electric Ireland wanting to discuss something no information giving on my end anyhow and tonight I searched the number because it made me suspicious about it plus the time they've called and seen people said it's a scam. Be careful.
