Door to Door Canvassing - Battersea
- Tracy (13th Sep 2014 - 16:16:27)
Hi
Could anyone advise me as to wether they have had a house visit from Canvassers within The Mead, Tower Road & surrounding areas who are collecting donations or asking for new clients to subscribe payments by Direct Debit for Battersea Dogs home.
My Sister in Law had a visit last Tuesday from a person who insisted that she agree to 12 x £8 donations by Direct Debit, she offered a cheque for £20 but this was declined.
We are wondering if these canvassers are legitimate or fraudsters. If anyone can help me with any info I would greatly appreciate this.

We had a visit this week on Hill House Hill. We talked through the gate and I sent him on his way. He didn't seem entirely convincing. Think he said his name was Chris.

We had them in The Maltings on Thursday. We already donate to Battersea on a monthly basis having re-homed a battersea dog years ago and so the girl just asked about the dog and her history and then left after a short chat. The girl that came to us wasn't pushy though and seemed friendly enough. Perhaps contacting Battersea directly to verify the caller's authenticity might be a good idea, or check on their website to see if that is any help.
