I have blocked this number, and another very similar to it, (03) 9975 0156, which is supposed to be fund raising for the RSPCA.

Not a scam, as many others have said it's to sell tickets for a raffle benefiting Police Community and Youth Centres. More information here: https://www.pcyclottery.com.au/index.php

You can call 1800 729 946 and ask to added to the No Calling List.

I think they are calling on behalf of "Vic Police" I worked one day for a company that did this and could not lie to my callers. I quit. Do not answer and block. This is a scam not a chairty. These companies keep $100 % of profits under the pretence of advertising your business or that you are helping.

St Kilda Police and Citizens Youth Club .Even tho I have asked thenm to take my name off their calling list I still receive calls. Calls that I deliberately let ring out day after day and yet still they persist.

sad to say guys charity's do not fall into the (do not call register) as what was for good at one time
is now a money making machine. these scum bags get the biggest part of your dollar to them its money for nothing

The correct phone for the St Kilda is (03) 9534 7584 so this is definitely a scam. They are back calling again

Had a missed call from this number. Called back using the landline but it was a recorded message asking me to call a 1300 number. I assume it's a money making scam of some sort.

Fund raising

Just called 1400hrs, Said hello,hello & then hung up, Obviously they are expecting a call back! Thanks to this site, That will not be happening, Thanks & Be careful to all

Blocked. They are persistent even after a polite "no" 2943876598265 times.

charities are exempt from the Do Not Call Register

Why recommend reporting an Australian-based scam to the American Federal Trade Commission?
I think what you're meaning is: https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/report-a-scam

company asking for donations.

Scam/charity: same thing!

Said they were the st kilda police club selling raffle tickets. After stain I'm broke kept insisting I didn't have to pay until Feb. Hung up and put them on auto reject. Very annoying.

i got the same call today, I just hang up, police wont call us. they just send the unpaid bill or fine on the mail and refer to sheriff, be careful everyone. cheers.

I have an Galaxy S6 (but any Android phone should have the same function).
I created a contact called SPAM with this number and set it to block all calls.
Next time they call they'll just get a busy tone.

calls and hungs up
