Caller: Scam caller posing as Arthritis Foundation

Tried to get me to sponsor a child for an event - when I asked how they got my details they said that they received data from the Gardiner Institute and gave a fake number. BEWARE.

I answered and they immediately hung up. I always block numbers after I receive calls like this!

unsolicited call. Rang number back to receive a message bank service by who knows?

if its genuine then why put a comment on a complaint web site?

Caller: Kidsflix - Juvenile Arthritis

This is a genuine charity. Twice a year they call raising money to take kids with juvenile arthritis to the movies. They do work in different states. You can look them up on Facebook under Juvenile Arthritis Victoria, although I think the above call comes in from South Australia - but they raise money to take kids Australia wide to the movies as a break from their often restricted lives. On their Fb website it says "if you require further information:
Email: kidsflix @ arthritissa.org.au
Phone: (08) 8423 0949"

Caller: Arthritis Foundations

This caller is from the Arthritis Foundation and they are raising money for kids with arthritis. They take the kids and sometimes their family to the cinema. The movie is just for them and they are able to fit the wheelchairs in.
I donate every year and it is claimable on your tax.

Rings a bit too late for it to be anything genuine. Blocked!!!

This scammer has called me 6 times today so far. I blocked their number and immediately they used a different number. I am on the Do Not Call register.

Rang at 7.11pm. I wasn't home but checked my answering machine later and got heavy breathing.

Caller: ‭(08) 8423 0901‬

Scammers posing as arthritis foundation.
These are well disguised as a genuine charity.
Don’t believe.

Rang at 10:35pm on Monday night???. Did not leave a message.

Caller: Arthritis Foundation

These are genuine calls, however, they're nuanced calls. Hence why people report them here. This site isn't specifically for complaints, it's so people can find out who is calling them.

Caller: A criminal organisation masquerading as a charity.

Calls as a different charity each time in a vain and hopeless attempt to get your credit card details to be used fraudulently at a later date. Talk to them at your own peril.

Told them to eff off!!
She told me I won $10k, and she will give it to someone else!!! Sick of these calls!!!

The organisation is genuine. Ask for them to send an email or letter.
Never donate via credit card over phone.
Phone number does not match the contact number on their website. Probably a contract call center
Always wary of fake callers pretending to be from some legit charity or another.

When I answer they hang up after a minute

They call every 3 days and all I get is a bip in the ear then they hang up. I've now blocked them.

Caller: Juvenile Arthritis

I totally understand they're genuine, however, calling me 3 times in 1 week... This is becoming a nuance call.

no one answer and hangs up immediately
