Be cautious, there’s a dodgy charity going around in Northern Ireland at the moment. Heard rumours it might be linked to modern slavery or something fishy like that. Best not to give them any cash. The police have been told about it already.

I’m almost convinced this is some kind of scam. A couple of sketchy blokes showed up in a rickety old van, you know, the one with a magnetic sign stuck on the side. I did manage to jot down the registration number, but honestly, I haven’t a clue what to do with it...

Like others have said, this phone number appeared on a bag for collecting clothes for breast cancer research. They called to check the collection date, put me on hold, and then I noticed a £7 fee on my phone bill. I looked up the number and none of the sites linked to it mentioned it was a premium rate line, which struck me as very dodgy because firms HAVE to clearly say if calls will cost extra. To make things worse, the only contact info was a gmail address - total scam if you ask me. Local authorities seriously need to step in and deal with this nonsense.

I found this number on a charity collection bag, but now I'm unsure if the charity is legit. I left the bag out for them to pick up, but no one came by. Luckily, I didn't bother calling or messaging the number. Looking at some reviews, it seems like it might be a scam after all.

There was a bag left out for donating clothes but they never came to pick it up on the promised date. I called the number on the bag to check and was told it was a premium rate number, which my phone plan didn't cover, so I had to hang up straight away. Supposedly, this was for a Breast Cancer charity too!

I put a bag out for collection but it never got picked up. Tried ringing them a few times cos the bag had some decent things in it and I didn’t want it to just sit there. Eventually got hold of a guy who was going on about how he’d be nearby soon and to call him when I had another bag ready, and to put the one I’d filled back outside. Then I notice they’ve gone and charged me £1.40!! Properly annoyed about that! Who even thinks it’s okay to do that?!

That “freephone” number I gave you actually redirects to the same ####, so I’d recommend avoiding it. Instead, it’s a better idea to ring the charity commission straight on 0300 066 9197.

Once more those idiots shoved a plastic bag through my letterbox, even though there’s a huge sign telling them NOT to leave plastic bags! They seriously should train their delivery lot better in reading and understanding ENGLISH! On top of that, the guy stomped all over my garden instead of sticking to the footpaths laid out... numpty! I’m definitely lodging a complaint with the Charity Commission and urge everyone else to do likewise 08006785869

It’s totally outrageous - I tried calling to say the charity bag wasn’t collected, and guess what? The phone call itself ended up costing me a premium rate! Honestly, it feels like a real scam to me.

What a bunch of wankers! Honestly, they should be proper embarrassed. Just block these numpties and make sure you report them to your phone company and the cops so they can put an end to it!

I got a bag through my letterbox to donate some clothes, which was perfect as I’d just gathered loads to give away. I tried ringing the collection number a few times, but each time it kept saying I’d used up my phone credit and had to add more money. I put a bit on my account but the message kept looping, so eventually I just stopped trying. Later on, it clicked that the number was actually a premium rate one - definitely a scam.

Avoid calling this number! It's a scam trying to profit using the names of real charities. Plus, if you dial them, you'll end up paying premium charges.

Found a leaflet stuck through me door about collecting clothes for prostate cancer. Seemed a bit sketchy at first. Had a proper look and the charity’s actually legit with a real website at combatcancercharity.org. Definitely not a scam after all.

They never rang me first. I had to ring them because my Breast Charity Bag wasn’t delivered properly - it was just shoved half in the letterbox on one of the chilliest days. I usually don’t donate via these “Bags” since a lot seem to be fake - it’s better to give directly to the charity. It’s a pity because the writing on the bag looks really legit. The phone number they gave was always busy whenever I tried.

A sticker was stuck on my door, and since nobody came to pick up the items I'd put out, I decided to call the number. Something about it just set off my gut feeling.

I got a bag left in my mailbox supposedly for kids' cancer charity, but the phone number on it matched one linked to a breast cancer cause. After looking it up, turns out it's a total scam.

There's a bloke going about dropping off little bags with breast cancer stuff through doors. They have a phone number on them, 08448004274. This looks like a scam, so be careful. Don't hand over any personal info or your phone number. Try to get a description of the guy - I've heard he might have tattoos. If you can, snap a picture of him. Just watch out and report him if you can, he seems dodgy.

I really dont understand how people fall for these fake cancer scams. They pretend to be fighting cancer just to trick you into giving them money or even knowing where you live. It’s scary how many folks dont bother checking if it’s real or not. In the end, they’re just after your phone number.

Yep, totally a scam. I’ve seen them around East Lothian giving out bags supposedly for Breast Cancer charity, saying they want donations like clothes and bric-a-brac. The phone number they use is 0844 800 4274 - don’t call it, the charges are crazy expensive!

I keep getting calls from 08448004274 on my work line, which is weird because I think it's being redirected from somewhere else. The person on the other end says they’re from a charity and will pick up stuff from elderly folks for free. It sounds like a dodgy trick to me, trying to get old people to leave their belongings outside so they can nick them. Definitely seems scammy!

I had a bag for Breast Cancer collection with that number 0844 800 4274 printed on it. I filled it up and left it out for them to collect, but when I tried ringing to organise a pick up, nobody picked up the phone. Looking at what others have said, it seems this isn’t a one-off issue. Honestly, this really puts you off donating with them again. Really disappointing service from the Breast Cancer charity.

Got these charity bags dropped off for Breast Cancer from them. They told me one would be picked up on Friday and the other on Monday. Total scam, do NOT leave your bags outside for them!

The phone kept ringing like it was busy but nobody picked up. The charity site for breast cancer support doesn’t seem real. They dropped off one bag saying they’d collect it Thursday, then the next day another bag arrived saying collection was Friday. I tried calling the delivery guy to find out which was right, but he just said he didn’t understand and walked away. I’m not putting the bag outside. What a total scam!

For the last couple of years, every time a charity bag lands in my letterbox, another one ends up on the pavement outside my home. Today, I finally managed to phone this number after trying to catch the person responsible. I saw him a bit down the street, and he kept glancing back at me, but I couldn’t manage to stop him when he walked back. About half an hour later, I noticed he'd left yet another bag in my front garden. Following advice from my neighbourhood watch, I’ve now reported the incident to the police. It’s starting to feel like this might be some kind of way to mark certain houses!

Today I found a bag with this number left at my door. While I was working, I noticed one of the delivery guys. There was a bloke in a nearby car who seemed to be watching them closely after dropping off the bags. I managed to have a quick chat with the deliverer, who was European and didn’t speak English very well. From what I gathered, he's only earning about £50 a day, which doesn’t seem right. I suspect he’s being taken advantage of. I’m not going to share more info or report it to trading standards because I don’t want the delivery guys to face any trouble. The guy in the car seems like a different matter, but giving any info might cause those poor workers to lose the little they have.

I packed a bag full of clothes for charity, then somehow they swiped a trolley stacked with new clothes, a handbag, and even my ID! Absolutely disgusting people... I’m still shocked and can’t believe it happened.

I spotted this number on a bag for breast cancer research and called because it hadn’t been picked up yet. The person I spoke to sounded pretty indifferent, like they didn’t really care at all. Now I see this might be some sort of scam, which really surprises me. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be donating stuff in charity bags ever again.
