I made the mistake of donating to the Oxfam Ebola appeal by text. I now receive at least one nuisance call from them a day, very often being a silent call from 07781 483303. Anyone else getting the same issue?
 
There is a simple solution.......... a Lynton Solution.........

Maybe you ought to spruce yourself up more they might think you are homeless and are checking up on you;)

Seriously though i've had this issue and once you donate and give them contact details, you are on the hook and ive had a couple of runs with some very rude call centre staff.
 
I just wish they'de spend the money it's costing them for the calls on the people they're trying to help instead...!

I also posted something on their Facebook page about this problem and this morning had an apologetic reply from them offering not to contact me again, so sorted (for me anyway).
 
These people are a nuisance. I like to give, but not on a regular basis. I give when I can and to who I wish. The problem is that no matter how good a cause it is once they have your details they never leave you alone. I get calls, emails and letters from numerous charities. There was one once that my wife gave to. they undertook not to contact her again if she ticked the box, which she did. A week or so later they did contact her, but only to thank her and confirm that they would not be contacting her again. They never did and it was much appreciated. Needless to say it was one of the smaller charities, and not one of the major, ever more hungry ones.
 
I donated to the Syria appeal by text after watching A&E in the war zone , 8 times they've tried to call me now including a few one bells on a 020 number, blocked it now
