Looks like +353 879 489 425 is a bulk‑SMS short code that both legit services and scammers love to use. You’ll see genuine alerts from places like Bank of Ireland or University Hospital Limerick, but the same number also shows up in fake COVID‑vaccine, HSE and Beaumont Hospital messages. The safest move is to verify any request by calling the organisation on an official number, never share personal details or click links, and block the sender if it feels off. If you’re asked to reply “YES” or “STOP” to confirm something, treat it with suspicion until you’ve double‑checked.

Fraudulent messages claiming to originate from BOI Bank.
Avoid responding to this scam text and do not call the number.
A message arrived from this number pretending to be Beaumont Hospital and asking for a “yes” reply to stay on a waiting list. Clearly a scam—do not respond and block the sender. – Marcus.
Beware: fraudulent messages impersonating Beaumont Hospital.
This bulk‑text number is shared across several firms; I got a message from UHL confirming my wish to stay on the waiting list. Everything's fine!
Someone claimed to be Bord na Mona.
I just received a note saying, "Thank you for banking with Bank of Ireland…" Since I recently contacted BOI about a refund, it might be related, yet it still feels like a possible scam.
The message read: "Thank you for banking with Bank of Ireland…" and then instructed to text “Stop” to 0879489425. I'm unsure whether to follow that.
A message from UHL was verified after I called the hospital, which confirmed its source.
Fraudulent.
Late‑night texts arrived around midnight on Sunday/Monday (Nov 14‑15), directing me to a “New BOI Online Dot Com” site because my account was allegedly blocked after failed transactions, urging me to secure it. Clearly a phishing attempt.
Beware of a COVID‑appointment scam; the HSE helpline verified the number isn’t theirs and advised ignoring it.
Someone reached out while claiming to be Bank of Ireland.
On July 5th I received a note announcing a quarterly Glass service priced at €5 per lift, asking me to reply YES with my account number; the account number matched the one mentioned previously, which seemed odd given the unusual HSE contact some users reported.
