Recent sign-ups to Dogs Trust have sparked calls from this number, often to verify donation details or confirm direct debits. While most experiences point to legitimate follow-ups, persistent ringing without messages raises red flags for some, and spoofing risks can't be ignored even for charities. Block unknown numbers as a default, and never share bank info over unsolicited calls. To donate safely, use the official website or app—avoids cold callers altogether. If it's a genuine charity nudge, they'll understand your caution; better safe than scammed with identity theft on the line.
Like the earlier remarks, I also signed up with Dogs Trust but after receiving numerous 020 scam calls I now ignore all such numbers. Unfortunately, I lack confidence in most of these numbers that seem to target people.
I missed the call and couldn't identify the number; after reading other feedback, I realised I’d signed up for Dogs Trust last weekend – odd, so I blocked it.
Two days ago I signed up for a Dogs Trust donation in person, so I wasn’t expecting a call. An American male later phoned, saying he’d email me in a few days to confirm the direct‑debit date and wanted to verify information. I reminded him we’d already completed the face‑to‑face setup, refused to answer his questions and he hung up.
After joining Dogs Trust a few weeks back, this number has been ringing my landline (no mobile listed). I usually let it go to voicemail, and once I answered, they hung up, then kept calling daily with silence. Feels a bit harassing.
Canines seem to place their trust.
Multiple calls have come from this number; I avoid answering unknown callers, assuming important ones will leave a message, so I blocked it to stop further attempts.
Having joined Dogs Trust this week, I received a confirming text. Today a call claimed to be from Dogs Trust and said all calls are recorded. I refused recording, and the lady said the call couldn't proceed without it. I allowed it, though I was uneasy; she had a slightly foreign accent. It may have been legitimate, but I chose not to take the risk.
A follow‑up from Dogs Trust checked whether I was still happy with my donation – nice of them to confirm before any payment is taken!
The number belongs to the legitimate Dogs Trust.
They keep calling multiple times each day.
Looks like a fraud.
A Dogs Trust fundraiser, I spoke with a man named Luke; he didn’t request bank details, only asked about Gift Aid and to verify my email and postcode. He may later ask if I can contribute an extra £1 per month or sponsor another dog, at which point bank details could be requested.
Under no circumstances should you provide money to an unsolicited caller, nor share personal details or bank information. It’s extremely risky and can lead to your account being drained. Even if the number appears to belong to Dogs Trust, scammers may spoof it, especially since the number is widely displayed on this site. To donate to a charity, use the official website and claim Gift Aid.
This originates from Dogs Trust and is a legitimate fundraising call.
It was indeed Dogs Trust that called, though my phone flagged it as a suspected scam. They left a voicemail thanking me for my donation and mentioning forthcoming paperwork.
A call from Dogs Trust rang to verify the particulars of my new regular donation.
My mobile rang from an unfamiliar number – I didn’t answer and no voicemail was left. Others mention Dogs Trust; I do have an existing donation with them, so I’m not sure why they’d call.
I have not answered the repeated calls.
The call came from Dogs Trust regarding a missed direct debit, simply confirming whether I wished to keep donating.
They claimed to be from the Dogs Trust.
