Picked up the phone but I didn't say anything. Male person said Hello, Hello then hung up. I have noticed this number is used as a call forward also. Flaming morons should get a real job and scam people on the sub continent!

I constantly get called by this number. I will not answer any interstate numbers now unless I know them. I am so sick of it. I must have gotten about 4 today.

This is a scammers number. Danger Will Robinson, danger!

they called me at 6am but they claimed they were from my home security company when i refused to give info they hung up ... they called again at 7pm claiming they were from a charity group and again hung up when i refused info ... definately not who they say they are

I received a call from this number today at 1.30pm and also last night at 8.45pm.Of course as soon as I answer they hang up. Next time I will have an airhorn ready and give them bleeding eardrums. A vigilante approach might work better than the Do No Call register

Got a call on 15/12/10
Yes, they say they are fundraising for a Police Citizen's Youth Club. I'm in QLD and 02 is NSW.
The guy sounded authentic with a speil but I'm on the 'Do Not Call' Register and this could still be a scammer.
I thought it best not to give this cold-caller/stranger my name, address and credit card details! Just too risky nowadays.
If you ring back the number that called you (02) 8088 4052) you could just be saying hello to a scammer.
If you want to donate money or enter their raffle then ring a registered number out of the phone book.
Even if (02) 8088 4052 really was a legit telemarketing company selling raffle tickets for the PCYC, they may take 50% of the takings as marketing fees.

The PCYC website outlines all about the raffle. The 02 area code does ring alarm bells but it would appear to be legit but annoying.

Hi, I just had a call from this number. He said he was from PCYC, and that the Rockhampton branch was under water, and would I like to contribute, and something about a raffle.Like I'm giving anything out to a tele-marketer. I rang PCYC in Rocky, and spoke to a lady. She said that it's legit, but hell, I'm donating to Theodore and surrounds near where I live.Plus it didn't seem right, them ringing straight after the Rocky flood. It smacks of opportunism!

This number has been trying to get hold of me for a few weeks now - haven't been home to answer it and see which charity it is though.  Doubt I'm going to know that I know for certain its a call centre, because I've frankly had a gut full of every charity in existence calling me monthly to buy raffle tickets.  I even had a woman acting on behalf of the Sporting Wheelies admit that they'd been sold my number by a marketing company!

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.
