Unsolicited call that has no connection to me whatsoever. I don’t know anyone who works here and have never used their services. Has my number been provided to them by some third part. GDPR action will be forthcoming if so. My friends and family know not to call me during working hours due to the sensitive nature of my work, but I still need to keep my phone turned on for emergency patients who may need to contact me urgently

This number called and i couldnt hear them so i called back and a Foreign guy answered and said he was from the Revenue and i was due a rebate and was looking for details which i refused and questioned him and then he hung up the phone. No revenue person will call you on a dublin number nor will they call you before nine in the morning i suspect. SCAM SCAM SCAM
