I called this number back and it is from Careflight. Can't deal with getting calls like this in the middle of a work day so now it's blocked. There has to be a better way for charities to contact people.

Care flight Australia. It's a charity with 100 percent of the funds being used for Care flight. It is a good cause but they come on way too strong, refusing to hang up until you literally have to say something to offend them or just hang up. I have nothing left to give anyone and I didn't need this weight on my shouldersw. Already enough guilt on my shoulders, do not want anymore

Caller: Care Flight A guy from Care Flight called me and asked for me by name. Surprise!. Then he told me all the beautiful things they do in a very gentle manner. When I said to him I wasn't interested in make transactions over the phone, he literally said to me "ok, have a good day and whatever", the bastard. Here I am working and minding my own business, respecting the rules and others as always, but I get this non-invited people getting into my life and disrupting my inner peace.

Caller: Careflight Careflight telemarketer. Has been calling me multiple times a day for weeks and I've answered twice, both times saying that I wasn't interested and the telemarketer has been very pushy so I had to hang up. I've blocked the number now.

Caller: Careflight Extremely annoying and aggressive chugger call from Careflight. Even after I told them I was NOT INTERESTED they went in even harder with their sales pitch. It really is intrusive. Ruined my mood and sense of inner peace. This should not be allowed. How the hell did they get my number in the first place?

Caller: Care Flight I had their previous numbers blocked as they run the full scripted sales pitch which equals 'no' is not an answer. The whole 'isn't that wonderful' and 'isn't it such a great thing to get behind' even after informing them that I was literally watching my father die at that time. We were always avid supporters but I will not support bullying people with hard sales tactics.

Caller: Careflight I blocked the number a while ago but they're very persistent! If a Careflight Call Centre Manager is reading these comments - I would advise them to employ a different tact or give their call centre staff further training. Persistence does not beat resistance - it only pi$$es people off!!

Caller: Care Flight After being called (ie harrassed) 3 times over 3 weeks, I gave a donation - got the guys name and employee Id number.
However, I didn’t see an instant transaction or get an instant receipt so I panicked that it was a scammer and called the main Care Flight number with the callers name. They verified that he worked there and told me what amount I donated.
Never bothering again, too stressful.

These people call on all different numbers, I ignore them but they’ll keep calling back. You’d think they would get the message after not getting answered to after the millionth time🙄

This must be at least the 10th time i have received an unsolicited call from this number. If it really is careflight...why not ask for Govt funding and leave us average workers alone. More likely its a scam pretending to be careflight...if this is the case, they should be investigated then charged with fraud and annoying me

Caller: Don’t know I blocked this number some time ago now they let it go to answering machine so I get a missed call message and blank voice message I don’t think they can get any more annoying. I believe in the service they provide but they realistically should look at the way they try to raise funds, i most certainly will not be contributing after this latest effort.

Rang in the middle of a meeting so I declined the call. Now reading its yet another charity whom I have never donated to. Who gives out our numbers - I think I will now stop donating if this is the thanks you receive.

Caller: Care Flight (according to other commentators) Getting calls for the past week from different numbers. Everytime I check, commentators claim it's Careflight. The charity spam calls on different number is a bit too much and doesn't help promoting the cause.
