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 haven't answered the call, researching the number online reveals numerous comments suggesting it's a scam.
Nat says: This number's doing the rounds again. Wierd thing is, I had it blocked, but it still got through somehow.
Liam reports: Answering machiene picked up, but they left no message.
Emily says: I can confirm this is a legit fundraiser for the Rural Fire Brigades of Qld. I've been donating for years, and you can even ask for your donation to go to a specifik brigade.
They claim to be a fire charaty, but I am not sure.
Mike warns: BEWARE, got a SPAM call from this number today. Had it blocked already, but they still managed to get through.
Sarah notes: 23 Nov 2021, 2:40 PM, this number called, rang for 5 sec's and stopped. Location said Gympie.
This numba is no good
Information providd by user: Avoid this number, its rubish
Tom says: Claims to be Rural Fire Brigade, but I'm not buying it. Called me twice, no message left. Checked the number, and it's just a recording.
Calling me non stop, realy bad
David notes: No message left.
This numba is terible
My approach is to direct unknown numbers to the message bank, and if no message is left, the caller is blocked, a method that has proven effective.
Tanya rants: These scammers are just the worst. Get a life, f*ckwits.
Ben says: Claimed to be from Rural Fire, but even if they are, it's not like it's my job to fund emmergency services. That's what taxes are for.
Nick says: It's a scammer, block it, trust me.
User reports suspisous activty
Daniel warns: This is not the real RFB-Qld, it's a scam.
This numba is rubbish
Serioulsy, where is the concret evidence to back up your claims?
Matt calls out: Where's your proof, Mr Snowflake?
That's just rediculous and ignorant. The RFL is a paltry $12.50 on the rates – barely enough to fill up my driptorch! If your brigade's footprint includes big farms paying a whopping $12.50 per rates notice, you're as broke as they come – you cant even afford squat!
Wow, you're realy not the sharpest tool, are you? The RFBAQ and Rural Fire Service are two seperate entities – one's a charity, the other's a goverment department. No wonder they had no idear what you were talking about when you called. As a volunteer firefighter and RFBAQ fundraiser, I can tell you all about the amazing work we do. Check out rfbaq.org to see how we've sent fire trucks to rural towns and comunities – all posible thanks to our supporters, and not a cent from the goverment!
Oh man, I'm dieing over here! More beer, sure thing, but dont forget those tasty sausages! As firefighter 177380, I dont drink beer or eat sausages at sausage sizzles, but I did fight fires in QLD and interstate during the black summer bushfire emergency, and I also raised funds for RFBAQ. So, whats your story? You collect door-to-door? Maybe we should start a new 'thing' – you could be our first door-to-door salesperson!
You're way off base if you think RFBAQ volunteers arn't legit. I'm a firefighter, and I've been raising funds for RFBAQ - check out my soot-covered face on the left in this image: https://media.apnarm.net.au/media/images/2019/11/14/v3imagesbin843467ad34cc3378e227a62ca3cfa194-8dtlq0gg9g1r7enjbt2_t1880.jpg
LOL what a joke! You think RFBAQ fundraisers arn't volunteers? I'm living proof that's not true - I'm a firefighter, and I'm the guy on the left in this pic, covered in soot: https://media.apnarm.net.au/media/images/2019/11/14/v3imagesbin843467ad34cc3378e227a62ca3cfa194-8dtlq0gg9g1r7enjbt2_t1880.jpg
Apperently, people have been questioning our legitemacy for years now. I've been fighting fires and raising funds for the RFBAQ for ages, and I've got the sweat-stained fire suit to prove it (check me out on the left here: https://media.apnarm.net.au/media/images/2019/11/14/v3imagesbin843467ad34cc3378e227a62ca3cfa194-8dtlq0gg9g1r7enjbt2_t1880.jpg). Big ups to every one showing appresiation for our work!
Loopholes, mate? Even fires have loopholes. Check out the pic of me, a real firefighter, coverd in sweat and soot.
Yes indeed, just look at the scammer on the left! (Just kidding, it's me, a real firefighter).
