got a call about my regular donation to red cross from this number, I rang back, its a recording giving an 1800 number for Red Cross. So all good.

Have had several calls from this No it is Red Cross rang the No back on my private phone and got a recorded message with a 1800 811 700 to ring back. So it is all above board.

I think they are legit as I was thinking the other day why no one has called from red cross to updateMy details. I lost my card and got a new one sent. I have also had a couple of calls from this number.

I updated my card expiry details on the Red Cross website two days ago.Yesterday I got another call from the number, so I answered. The caller identified himself as from Red Cross and said that my last debit had not gone through. I said 'That's funny, my card doesn't expire until the end of this month (3 days hence).' I told him I'd just recently updated my card details, so that ended the conversation.Later I get home and check my bank account details online and find that I *was* debited with my normal monthly amount only 5 days earlier.Go figure. Possibly a scripting error in what the Red Cross callers are told to say.My advice: Update your details online.

Is this phone number legitimate RE: The charity Red Cross?

funny you say this, I received a call a few days ago about the exact same thing.... my automatic debit had ceased and would I like to get it going again.
I refused to give my card details, I asked her to send paperwork in the mail, she said she couldn't do it.

Tonight I received another call from this number, but they hung up when I answered it, so I googled the number and I see this thread here.

The lesson would be to never give credit card details to somebody who has phoned you.

I've been getting a call on my mobile every afternoon/evening for the past two weeks until recently. The first time they hang up as I was answering. So after that I didn't bother answering. Now it makes sense.A. I have an automatic monthly Visa debit with Red Cross.B. My old Visa card expires in 3 days, and I have been sent a replacement.

Had a call from a woman claiming to be from the Red Cross.  Said my regular debit had bounced (I do have a regular amount going to the Red Cross).  Asked if I had a new card, which I do.  I stupidly gave my new card details, then when I checked my banking I found that the monthly amount had in fact gone thru.  Now I think she was dodgy.
