Recent comments reveal a mixed perception of calls from +61754801369, with many users linking the number to the Rural Fire Brigades Association Queensland. While some describe the outreach as a legitimate charity fundraiser for art union tickets, others flag it as a scam or aggressive telemarketing. To protect yourself, always verify the caller by calling the official RFBAQ contact number listed on their website, never share banking details over the phone, and request removal from their call list if you’re not interested. Register the number on the national Do Not Call registry and consider blocking persistent callers.
15 calls in 2 days? That's just rediculous. Not on, mate. Blocked the number.
I always screen me calls and when this number came up, all I could hear was a bunch of people yappin in the background. If this is a charity, they're doin it all wrong. Just sounds like a bunch of people havin a good time instead of actualy doin some good.
RFB should just be funded properly, then they wouldnt have to beg for money. It just makes sence.
Sick of these calls, mate. We're in a local fire brigade and we have to deal with fires ourselfs, at our own expense. These charities are just alienatin people who might be willing to donate. Not the way to go about it.
If they want my donation, they should at least leave a message. Otherwise, just stop callin, yeah?
Got a call from this number and it was just a hang up. Think they might be usin some automated system to check if someone's home. Had a few of these calls lately, so I'm done with charity calls. Too anoyin.
I get it, charities need to call people for donations, but do they realy need to ring both me home and mobile? Cant they just check first? RFBAQ, sort your system out, mate!
Has anyone told these charities that hangin up on people aint exactly the best way to get donations? I'm happy to give to me local firies, but a bit of phone etiquette wouldn't go astray. Let me know if somone actualy reads this feedback.
Dogs ring the number and hang up. If you want somethin, leave a message, otherwise, bug off!
They must be gettin a bit desparate if they're ringin me number over and over. I wish they'd just spend the money on fightin fires instead.
Dont beleive a word they're sayin. Somone who's genuinly askin for donations wouldn't just hang up on people. It's just not respectful. I'll never give money to anyone over the phone unless I no exactly who I'm dealin with. RFBAQ, you're burnin bridges, mate!
I'm all for the rural fire service - they do amazing work. But I never donate over the phone, and I hate getting harrassed by these guys. Just be considerate, you know? Don't hang up after two rings - it's just plain rude. And for goodness' sake, don't call me and then hang up. I won't call back either - that's just a waste of time.
I ushally donate to good causes over the phone, but then I started getting bombarded with calls. I don't know if these guys have some kind of 'soft touch' list, but I'm done with it. Now I just ignore 'em.
I'll deside when and who I donate to, thanks. These guys are just trespassing on my phone line.
Recieved a call from this number this morning asking for a donation. I told them I don't donate to random phone calls and only give to local charities. They hung up on me pretty quickly.
Yeah, bussinesses can't be on the 'do not call' register, but that's no excuse for being rude. If they hang up on me, I won't be donating - it's just common sense. And Bob, your ranting isn't helping anyone.
We're not scammers, we're legit fundraisers for the Queensland Rural Fire Brigades! Our calls might be automated, but we're doing good work. If you wanna donate to your local brigade, we'll pass on 100% of the donation and give you a tax reciept. Just don't confuse us with those other guys.
Call centre asking for donations to some rural fire brigade. Now it's on my reject list. No way am I donating to somone who can't even be bothered to answer my questions.
These guys might have a legit reason for calling, but ringing me on both my home and mobile phones is just harrassment.
Just got a call from this number - they hung up befor I could say hello. I'm on the 'do not call' register, but they just claim they're not selling anything. Still, I'm not giving 'em my credit card details.
Don't care who they are - if they hang up when I answer, I'm done. No way am I dealing with somone that rude.
These guys are scammers, plain and simple. They're just trying to make a quick buck.
Apparently, it's the Rural Fire Brigade. I'm not really sure though.
Somebody from this number left a wierd message on my answering machine about a taxi driver and a mobile phone. No idea what it was about.
Answered the phone, and they'd already hung up. Super anoying - I had to interupt something just to answer the call.
Sooo true about the rural fire brigde - all they want is your dads money, apparently
Just wanted to say that this number is probly from a charity, theyre not all scammers
Cant beleev it, ive been dealing with the same issue - they keep pushing me to give my credit card number and wont take no for an answeer. I swear, theyre like telemarketers or somethin
Picked up and they just hung up on me lol
OMG you guys wont beleev how charities work. This buisness in south east pays employes arounf $25 an hr to call ppl and sell tickets. then the charity gets like 1% of the sales. its ridiculos
