About short code 70070

The former JustTextGiving donation code. The service shut in 2019 — a text claiming to take donations via 70070 today should be treated with caution.

Is a text from 70070 safe?

Extra caution applies here: the original service behind 70070 is no longer active, so a modern text claiming to come from it deserves suspicion. Don't tap links, don't send payments, and verify any claim with the organisation directly.

Whoever the sender, judge a text by what it asks, not the number it shows. Genuine organisations never ask you to share passwords, PINs or one-time codes, "verify" card details through a text link, or move money to a "safe account". An unexpected text doing any of those is a scam regardless of the code it came from — sender IDs can be spoofed.

Don't tap links in unexpected texts — go to the organisation's website or app directly.
Don't reply to suspicious messages — even "STOP" confirms your number is live to a scammer.
Forward scam texts to 7726 (free, all UK networks) so your network can act on the sender.
