I was previously employed by the highly immoral Insight CFS. Basically what the company is doing is cold calling elderly senile Australians and intimating/pressuring them to purchase raffle tickets via credit or debt card for a charity such as the PCYC or RSPCA etc, which cost $1000.00 dollars or less. I am embarrassed to admit that I once worked for Insight CFS, and I feel so dirty. Hangup, if Insight CFS call you.

This number has rung us 3 times a day for over 5 weeks..what a pain

I have had 6 calls from this number in the last week I am so glad I have call number display as I just ignore them . I wish they would give up as they ring as late as 7.45 at night

Yea I got a call from this number today and they ring once and hang up. I am also on the do not call list, but they just ignore this. However this behaviour is harrassment and should be dealt with by the Police. Craigs story about his Mum being ripped off for $200 by the PCYC is just disgraceful. You need to call the TV stations to put this on the news, to prevent this from happening again. SO PCYC PFO

I've got two missed calls from this number today. When i called back i got an automated service telling me it was the PCYC. I of course called with a private number to avoid giving away my land line. Im calling the police to confirm whether or not they are ac

I hope that I am costing them heaps,,,because they keep calling my fax machine..If I am lucky,one day they will self implode..I wish I knew the personal numbers of these parasites so that I could ring them ever hour 24 hours a day until they finally got the message..bugger off

They ring up and then hang up when you answer. Grubs

Had a missed call from this number today at 5:22 pm I feel harassed because I have a silent number and also on the do not call register. I don't think charity's should be exempt.

Bloody charities exploiting their exclusion from the no-call register.

We should have a no-call register for them too.

I think these people hope you call back sa part of their strategy. Grrrr.

This number has rung several times over the last 2 weeks during the day.
I work nights it wakes me and i answer-they hang up!i rang back and is the PCYC art union Surry Hills on an answering machine!!! grrrrrr!

It's not the Police ringing you, it's the PCYC, who are a youth organisation run by the Police. They are a legitimate charity and are exempt from Do Not Call Register rules as they are a charity, as are all charities. They have to raise money somehow and this is how they do it. I came onto this website today because I wondered what the number was also (given I've had many missed calls over the past 2 weeks).My suggestion? Ring them direct (not on the number they ring on) and ask to be removed from their phone list. I did this with The House With No Steps about a month ago and no more calls since. It works!!Failing that, pay your phone company the $6.00 a month for Caller ID and then ignore the call when it comes through (as you'll recognise the number). It's the only solution we have, as all charities are exempt from the Do Not Call Register rules and are free to call us as often as they like.I hope this helps people?

I donot like this call. I am not sure that how the commpany know my number

Guggi, just remember the charity you first bought entries for in their raffle from Insight, your details were taken and specifically called for their other charities. This is illegal.Your details may not have been sold, but you details have gone to their 8 or so other charities they call for. And you now give money constantly to 2 or their charities because they used methods which are illegal.And forgive me, their job is to hound you, and that's what they were doing.Just remember that granny on the phone saving $30 of her pension money she really cannot afford to give away, but thinks it will help puppies at the RSPCA, well 30 cents in te dollar of it will, the rest goes to people like Elle who's job it is, is to get money out of you. So really where do you think and how much do you think goes to the people in need?

This is the exact reason why I never donate to phone charities.  Because they take way more than they actually give to the charity.

Just recieved a call from this number, they hung (as other people have stated), as usual I called back and got the PCYC answering machine (how got my number is beyond me as we are not even listed!) I left my name and number and stated that they had hung up as soon as I answered and asked for a call back.

A lot of companies do this in the hopes that you will call them back and the don't have to pay for the call charges! Will post more when I get to the bottom of it.
