Rural fire don't call people, when they called me I told them this and that I was actually a rural land holder of multiple parcels of land and that as a part of being in a rural fire service area we pay directly to our brigade, they didn't know what to say. I have a silent number and am listed on the Do Not Call Register

Gordon from "NSW Rural Fire Service" - soliciting donations. A quick search revealed http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/dsp_more_info_latest.cfm?CON_ID=5283 whilst Gordon was online, and the rest of the conversation went something like...

Gordon (British sounding gent): The NSW Rural Fire Service desperately needs donations to keep performing their vital tasks.

El: Oh, I know. It's so important. Would $100 do?

Gordon: That'd be great

El: Or how about let's make it $200.

Gordon: Fantastic

El: Ok, let's start with your credit card number

Gordon: Excuse me

El: I need your credit card number to process your donation

Gordon: No, I mean, I'm after donations

El: Yes, and you're so generous to offer $200. Now, was it a Visa or Mastercard

Gordon: <click>

Raffles for RFS, been getting these phone calls from same group of people with various numbers but all begin with 8, I've had (02) 8524 5945, (02) 8268 1888, (02) 8218 4800, (02) 8524 5954, (02) 5824 5933.

same , they call hang up

Calling on behalf of the NSWRFSA

They just call and hang up. How tiresome.

called twice in 2 days.. no speakingon other end. i said hello and my name and they hung up.

Why does this number call my number ?, I am on the do not dial list, they are not respecting my rights to privacy, I wish telstra would stop them.

it is some sort of charity who use an auto dialler and do not identify themselves if you call the number back. Pissing me off too- i get about 3 calls a day, all are hangups
