*unclear voice* "is this _____", "yes, this is _____" *hang up*. What a c*nt.

Yes they called me a guy name Matt said he was a police officer contracted to do the fundraising for the National Emergency Response Magazine and offered bronze silver and gold advertising packages. my accountant advised me they are a scam. i refused payment they now harrass me from different mobile numbers, another one is 0402 958 570

this time it was the "fire fighters union" - it could be legitimate as this might be company that get all new business registrations via domain / ABR - which is public data to see if this new company can support their clients..
BUT get details first, don't give credit card over phone, in case it is scammer and not real representatives. They were very well trained in their scripts. I said I just started my business I cannot afford ( as a student still) $440 donation for some book thing, was going to ask for more details but they rushed to end the call...

This number appears to belong to someone at a business called Countrywide Austral http://www.cwaustral.com.au/advertisers/advertising-rates/qld-streetsmart-handbook/

They appear to be lifting business phone numbers from geographic location searches on Facebook (finding businesses by suburb).

I had quite a lengthy discussion with said caller and while they do represent a publication made in association with the Police Welfare Foundation, it appears to be simple cold-calling to get you to accept a TINY $500+ GST ad placement in the QLD distribution of the Street Smart handbook which is given to grade 11 and 12 high school leavers.

Good cause as it may be, calls from this number are simply cold call advertising sales using important sounding words to get your attention http://www.auspol.org/ really is a charity so the call initially does come off as sounding more important that it really is is.

Had a missed call, returned the call and the mail box was full. Felt it was odd - so googled the number and seems my gut feeling was correct...

I received a call from this number, i answered, and they hung up?

Called saying they were from Ambulance services wanting money

Scammer. Called asking for business owner saying the were from the Australian federal police
