Really sick of scammers to try to scam people using name of a legitimate charity for Domestic Violence - "Next Steps Australia" - lady on the phone (from call centre), after a few minutes delay (sounded like robocall) was way too cheery for such a horrible issue in society

Caller: Next Steps Australia

Domestic Violence blah blah blah, donations of $150 upwards. Seriously they try and tug at your heart strings. If i wanted to donate then wouldnt be handing my details over to some random over the phone. So sick of these calls.

Just hung up, no message so not legit.

Claimed to be "Next Steps Australia", a domestic violence charity. Sounds pre-recorded but engaged enough with my conversation that it must be a human. A bit pushy with the sales pitch and demand for a "pledge" even if you offer to donate online, and was quite abrupt with the hang-up at the end when I refused to provide pledge details over the phone.

Pre-recorded message that sounds very life-like of a woman asking for donations. They are claiming to be Next Step - a legit charity that supports victims of domestic violence - however if you google the charity the actual website has a phone scam alert. They are asking for bank account details for a “one off” donation - claiming that they only need three people to pledge and you are the third. Absolutely disgraceful, but scarily sophisticated.

Caller: Next Steps

I'm pretty sure its a robot - would respond to key words such as when I indicated that I had found their "website" and was reviewing, robot proceeded to reel off the address. II clarified that I was at their website but it feel on deaf mechanical ears - she proceeded to read the address twice. Quite errie though how human the interaction was.

Yes - just blocked them - thanks to everyone who provided details of the calls

Daily calls around 5pm AEST.

I didn't answer, but I've been getting twice daily calls from this number for a week now. I've now reported it as Spam and have blocked the number

Woman asked to speak to my husband I told her you can if you go and visit his grave and I slammed the phone down. How come she had my husbands name when it’s coming up to 8 years since he passed away.

Caller: I don't know

Answering the call then hanging up should still charge them for calling you the first place.

Every couple of days this number calls, we leave it to the answering machine. Every time it's a lady saying "Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?"

Constant daily calling… just don’t answer! Annoying and possibly scam.

Caller: 85883917

Government needs to legislate to stop phone numbers being handed out.

no message=blocked number

Caller: NEXT STEP AUSTRALIA

PRE RECORDED MESSAGE ABOUT DONATIONS - PERSISTENTLY ANNOYING

Caller: "lizzie dent" scam robocall

They call themselves "next step australia" or "australian fundraising centre" and have a legit looking website but are just annoying pests and the very reason I will never, EVER give another cent to any charity that calls me ! ! ! ! !
