Expert Opinion

Late evening calls from +27112562309 have left many recipients uneasy. The number repeatedly rings, often within minutes, and the voice claims to represent a Greenpeace fundraising effort, pressing for immediate donations. Patterns such as silent initial rings, aggressive follow‑ups, and requests for bank details are classic hallmarks of high‑pressure charity telemarketing and can slip into fraud. Callers rarely provide verifiable references and may become hostile if you request official links. To stay safe, hang up, avoid sharing personal or financial information, and verify any appeal directly through Greenpeace’s official website or trusted channels. Consider blocking the number and reporting it to your carrier.

On 15 July 2021, I registered for ongoing Greenpeace donations. Then on 19 July, a guy from this number rang saying the payment failed and proposed fixing it right away. I requested a call the next day. He followed up on 20 July morning as planned. I responded to his queries but couldn't complete the payment since I was away and couldn't access my banking info on my device. He rang again at 14:00 that afternoon per agreement. I was behind the wheel so missed it. Then called 9 times over 18 minutes. Once home, I verified my account and saw the deduction went through fine from the 15th. Sounds like either an overly insistent Greenpeace rep or a potential fraud.

After replying to a Green Peace online ad seeking volunteers, the caller just pushed for donations. Seems like commission-driven folks. So much for ocean plastic cleanup efforts. They won't stop! Attempts to get removed failed since the number can't be dialed.

A lady picked up, but her words were unclear except it seemed like a charity in (something)Africa; she hung up when I requested she say the name again

Probably hit a shady link by mistake, first a quiet call came in. Then they rang again, super insistent on getting my info for a donation starting at R160 monthly, said no and requested their website donation page, but they flipped out and got nasty!
