Resolving unrecognized Oxfam charges
Unreviewed registry note: If the Oxfam charge is unexpected, it is highly recommended to speak with anyone else who has authorized access to your credit card before disputing the transaction. A spouse or family member may have utilized a shared family account to make the pledge, especially in response to a compelling news story about a global emergency.
Unreviewed registry note: If you have verified that no one in your household made the pledge, and you have never interacted with Oxfam, your card details may have been compromised. Contact your financial institution to report the unauthorized activity, as fraudsters sometimes use small charity donations to test if a stolen credit card is active.
- Consult authorized account users Unreviewed registry note: Ask family members if they recently responded to an emergency appeal or canvasser from Oxfam America.
Are Oxfam America donations tax-deductible?
Unreviewed registry note: Yes, Oxfam America is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and your donations are generally tax-deductible in the United States.
