Claiming to be accepting donations for the Federal Police, initially I asked for a phone number to call back on which the gentleman could not provide. The next day I received a call from a private number claiming the same thing, I asked them to please send through email documentation about their donation scheme, how to make donations, etc. The guy became extremely rude and said how could I not want to 'help our coppers'. He said he didn't understand what I needed emailed through, I advised if this was a legit company accepting donations for the AFP there has to be mandatory documentation regarding donations.

Called today statins she was from Australia Federal police welfare, asking if I was the business owner, I asked what business are the after they said #########, my response was it's a hobby biz not an actual business, she then hung up

It's not a scam (I don't think), it's a countrywide austral who publish newsletters/books to sponsor ambulance/federal police officers. They aren't part of the service, they ask businesses to sponsor them. I did it once but they keep asking for more for different services. I am only an independent, not a business so it's not great.

Some bogan Aussie guy claiming to be from the Australian federal police, i was doubtful since i thought police would speak more formally. I replied "No you're not' he laughed and said "I actually am, do you own a small business called ************?". I said "yes, who is this really" he quickly hung up. Tried to call back the number to find out if it was a prank call, there was a message saying it was an outbound number only. Definitely a scam.

Rang my business number, but I missed call.

Female voice claimed to be working for Victoria Police VPYC working on a "big project". Had previously gotten a similar call from another number so I was suspicious. Asked if I could get her number and call her back. She got flustered and said she couldn't give me her number (even though I already had it on caller id). So I said I wasn't interested.

Called. Said his surname is Barber, from Australian Federal Police, wanted to speak to business manager regarding sponsorship. Told him to send email.

He is prented to be neighbour watch. I ask him to send a formal email to explain it, then he hang up angrily.

Called this morning, same as above pretending to be the police from NSW. asked about my business but not my name and hung up.

Called me on my mobile. He had my email which I'd just updated on a local business listing site yesterday. Told him I don't talk to anyone I don't know and he politely withdrew and hung up.

this number called me this morning asking for donation to NSW Police for a campaign early next year - supposedly?
call ended quickly.

This persons name is ##### ######### and the girls voice on the message bank message is ###### #####, they are both members or associates of the ######### ############ ####. They are absolute scum and are praying on businesses asking for cash and money towards advertising in a police bulletin. Vic Pol are onto them and if they call you please let vic pol know where you are when they call you - you may be called as a witness in a case against this scum bag.
