Expert Opinion

Approach unsolicited calls with caution, especially those seeking donations. This number links to fundraising for Oxfam, often tied to Gaza petitions, handled by Stratcom. Some reports confirm legitimacy via Oxfam's site and polite interactions, leading to safe donations with Gift Aid. Others flag risks, like unlisted numbers or pressure tactics suggesting scams—spoofing is common. Verify callers by checking official Oxfam channels or the Charity Commission. Never share bank details over the phone; donate directly online. If harassed, register with TPS and block persistently. Opt for smaller charities with transparent policies to ensure funds reach causes.

441865575035 Harassment Call

Signed a Gaza petition ages ago and shared my details. Got a call from this woman seeking donations; I was tied up and said I'd callback. She rang again soon after, which seemed off – why pester when I said I'd ring in my own time? Creeped me out, so I stopped picking up. She's been at it for a month now – proper worrying stuff.

Got a call from this on Wednesday and again Friday (today). Based on others' notes, probably Gaza-related: I'd contributed to Oxfam for the crisis and signed petitions. Didn't answer unknowns—voicemail activated, but I skipped checking as I'm new to it.

Barely missed a call from this number. After reading the comments, it seems like someone representing Oxfam. I signed a Gaza petition last week and got an email today about donating. Probably a solicitation call. As noted, I'd be cautious about donating via phone from such a semi-unsolicited approach. The petition is public, so my name is out there, but I'd be upset if the charity shared my phone number too. Hoping it's legitimately on behalf of Oxfam.
