Charity workers asking for bank details?

Don't touch this with a ten foot pole!! It's just another way of getting your private info.

You would have to be mad to give your details to any one you don't know,especially someone in the street! suppose they got mugged on the way home,all your details are there for the taking,you don't know what checks are done on these people,i have just one direct debit,for my phone and broadband,the less people who know my bank details the better! By the way never ever give your details over the phone,banks never ask for these details over the phone,inland revenue never ask for your details online or on the phone either,we have to get more security conscious these days,its our fault if we get scammed.

It really is very simple>You dont give any personal details to anyone at att who-ever they say they are unless you are very very sure you know who you are dealing with,and you have a reason for giving anything out.

'Chuggers' (charity muggers) are a deplorable development. 40% of money donated through them goes directly into their pockets.

Never mind the information you give them... This is so called charities playing 'hard sell' tactics. As I say... deplorable.

You are buying a product the same as any other - this is not unusual. As long as they show you their ID and you are happy that they are who they say they are it just the same as buying AA membership in the street.

If you are not happy about it then don't do it - you can donate online from home if that makes you feel more comfortable.

Just say NO. Then you don't have to pretend being on phone etc. I like to say No.

There's not even a slight chance of them getting mine.
