I got the same call 2 days ago. FROM A 083 NUMBER. When you answer the phone an answering machine tells your pps number has been compromise, it ask you to go to a web site or else to click on a link. The idea is that you click there and re input your details. When they have that they can pretend that they are you and get into your bank accounts, social welfare or whatever. That is call wide cast net Pishing. Out of 1 million people who gets the call, certain percentage will click there and get caught in the scam.
Just delete any links and never input any personal info anywhere.

REMEMBER they always have a sense or URGENCY.
They ask you to contact them or click on a link.

I heard that if you send them a pic of both sides of your bank card they'll stop bothering you.

Lots of scams of different nature have been for ages around. Once in Belfast got a text on my working phone saying something about new payee who was added to my HSBC bank account. And of course I dont have a bank account with HSBC so I texted back the f... middle finger sign and got response a smile
