Cats Protection Imposters?
Summary — +441173254884
Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, this number often masquerades as a familiar charity to lure the unwary into lengthy chats or pleas for donations. Comments reveal a pattern of persistent calls claiming to represent Cats Protection, with some users fooled into sharing details, while others wisely ignored or blocked it. But not all ring true—reports of silent lines, no messages, and even automated scams for direct debits suggest it's dodgy data scraping or outright fraud. Never disclose personal info over unsolicited calls; hang up and verify directly with the charity via their official site. If harassed, report to Action Fraud and your phone provider to block it. Stay vigilant—better safe than sorry with these nuisances.

No voicemail left; the call appeared related to Cats Protection, but I’ll be providing feedback directly to the organisation.
Skipped answering my mobile, assuming an important call would leave a voicemail – which it didn’t. After learning it’s a scam, I’m glad I didn’t pick up and will block the number, mate.
The cats protection website lists this as a legitimate call, yet after years of monthly donations I've been receiving seven requests for more money within eight days – quite a joke.

Fraudulent activity identified.
They called my business line claiming to represent Cats Protection League, named me, and pressed to explain how I could aid their fundraising; I never gave my details to this charity, so they likely sourced my data elsewhere. After telling them I wasn’t interested, I blocked the number.
