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.
Although I believe they are a worthy cause, I will never donate to charities that engage in cold calling, and despite requesting to be removed from their database, it never seems to happen, as they exploit the charity exemption to avoid the do not call list
RFBAQ confirmed this is a legit number for their fundraising call centre in Gympie, Queensland. Art Union 88 is their current campain.
Come on, people! This number's been arround since 2011. It's not the real Fire Brigade. Block it alredy!
Recieved an unsolicited call from this number. No reply, just silence. Scammer alert!
Got an unsolicited call yesterday; when I picked up, only silence greeted me, which leads me to believe it was a scam.
I recieved an unsolicitated call from this number yesterday, but when I answered, ther was just silence, so it was probbably a scam.
I used to work at RFBAQ's call centre in Gympie. They're legit, not a scam. Google it yourself.
RFBAQ is legit. They're selling raffle tickets.
No message was left by the caller
Pretti shure its a scam
Luckly, we didn't answer this call. Blocking the number now. Thanks for the warnings, guy's.
This number is supposidly for fundraising purpuse, specificaly for Rural Fire Brigade Queensland.
Dead air - these guys ring and once you pick up, nobodys there. Apparently its the rual fire brigade. Im not buying raffle tickets from them anymore, too many pointless calls with no one on the other end.
Each time the phone rings and I answer, I hear only silence, leading me to think it's tied to the Rural Fire Brigade's fundraising calls; I've grown wary of buying tickets because of these frequent dead calls.
When answered, the caller was unresponsive, supposedly from the rural fire brigade, prompting reluctance to engage due to the frequency of such calls with no one responding.
If this number is calling you, its probaby a scam. Im deaf and I dont give out my number to anyone, so I dont know how they got it.
The mere fact that I was called raises a red flag for a possible scam; as a deaf person I avoid phone calls and never share my number publicly.
Total scam - theyre spoofing numbers and pretending to be a charity
Likely employing number spoofing, this caller appears linked to scammers or bogus charities—stay alert!
This number is beeing used by scammers who spoof numbers and pretend to be a charity
Unknown caller - didnt leave a message. hung up on me when i ansered
The initial ring left no voicemail, and the second was dropped the moment I picked up—likely an attempt to catch a female voice.
The caller hung up without leaving a message on the first attempt, and on the second, they disconnected the call upon hearing the recipient's voice, suggesting they were seeking a specific type of recipient.
The answering machine picked up the call, but no message was left, which is quite suspisous, SC.
Samantha warns: These guys clam to be from a charity, but trust me, it's just a scam. They're not from the fire brigade at all.
Someone claimed to act for a charity but was actually part of a fraud operation and falsely said they were linked to the fire brigade; avoid donating to such calls.
This is a fake charity, they are just scammers trying to steal your money
The caller pretended to be from the Rural Fire Brigade, prompting me to hang up and block the number immediately.
