    Because the call is coming from outside Ireland they cant, we tried to get them to block them but they wanted €100 to send us out something to attach to the phone to block them

    Just an FYI: You can buy that piece of hardware for 3 times less on Amazon! Silly Eircom adding a significant profit margin to it.

    Hi Guys
    we are aware of both of these particular phone scams. As amandaf675 has stated above, it is very difficult to identify, pin down and block these types of calls.

    It is vital to be aware that personal or financial details should never be divulged to unknown callers.

    Vigilance is important...

    These numbers are spoofed at the originator end. It's pretty trivial to do, so blocking a single number at the routing level would be counterproductive. Blocking the 001 prefix would eliminate all of the US, so not a good solution there either.
