Bwwwaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're as bright as you sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The RFBAQ isn't the Rural Fire Service as they are two separate entities,.................. one a charity the other a government dept. So of course when you ring them they wouldn't (like you) have a clue. I am a volunteer fire fighter and raise funds for the RFBAQ. Go to https://www.rfbaq.org/ to learn how we have just sent many fire trucks to rural towns and communities that our supporters made possible,... all without government money.

That is stooooooooooooopid and ignorant. The RFL is a paltry $12.50 on the rates,......... that'd be lucky to re-fuel my driptorch!
If your brigades footprint incorporates large farms each paying a princely $12.50 per rates notice then guess what,....... you're as broke as the 10 commandments and can't afford sh*t!!

You are wrong. I am a firefighter and with the RFBAQ. Your contributions have gone towards saving Lives, Homes, Communities.
Sandman whoever that is,............ is wrong.

The confusion in this matter arises from "listbrokers" which have re-sold your contact details to us here at the RFBAQ. The poor lady at our end helping us firies out doesn't have access to the pre-existing supporter ID info that we have on you only what appeared on her screen. She was probably a new helper at the time and wasn't savvy to the fact that these list brokers sell us duplicate data be that by accident or otherwise. That is why you got a different "PIN" as you dubbed it,.. which is auto-allotted upon mass data entry into our systems. So no it's NOT a scam,........ it's us firies and a total misunderstanding. And thank you for you support as it has helped us get 11 new fire trucks in total out to communities some of which will be multi-role capable meaning they will be dealing with bushfires,! car crashes, housefires etc and in small communities far from help these machines are worth their weight in gold!!!!!!!!!

What would you know??????? I am firefighter 177380 with Qld Fire and Rescue and also raise funds for the RFBAQ. I was deployed during the "Black Summer 2019/2020 fire season in numerous fires here in Qld including the Peregian Springs fires and interstate in the NSW Bega fires as part of Strike team Yanke and thenn the Canberra fires as part of strike team Alpha Echo. You are wrong. But are you man enough to now admit to one and all that you are wrong. My bet is that you are NOT man enough Mick T.

Bwwaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!! Firstly,... When we call someone we have no idea of your particular employment status as we are not endowed with supernatural abilities such as mind reading. Secondly,......The 10's of millions of dollars raised for the bushfire crisis. That ALL went to the NSW RFB as decreed by the almighty know-it-all Courts. And whilst I a Qld firefighter was sent to the NSW Bega fires for that very emergency we were given sh*tBAG old NSW fire trucks dragged out of mothballs to "work" with. Our truck didn't even have a icebox to put our bottled drinking water in and I spent over 3 Hrs rehabbing a old piece of sh*t toy chainsaw so we could cut down roman candles on the containment lines. One of the trucks got stuck in a gully because the 4WD function didn't work,.. luckily the fire turned the other way. When I was then deployed to the Canberra black summer fires,.... Qld fire trucks were railed to Canberra for our use. If you think that you can place your faith blindly in your beloved Grubbermint and the way they apportion funds then you might want to think again. The results of so many dead and so much destruction speak for themselves. I raise funds for the RFBAQ and I am a fire fighter who was in the very fires that you refer to,............we recently built and sent out 11 firetrucks built with supporters money because we are the REAL DEAL. We have a website www.rfbaq.org

"Harassing" people?????? We are fundraising to buy firetrucks and other necessary life saving equipment and steer our beloved governments efforts in the right direction when it comes to all matters RURAL FIRE. I am a rural fire fighter and help to raise funds for this cause. I fought the fires of the Black Summer both here in Qld and also in NSW Bega region and in Canberra,............... many of us were exposed to life threatening and horrible conditions that the likes of you would find "unacceptable". But unlike the likes of you every single one of us will step up the mark again and again to accept the unacceptable.

My father is of a certain age and gets taken in by these people who are not volunteers, but are paid to harass people while they are cooking etc etc....bad form. If we wanted to donate then we would. Paying people to harass others is not how real charities work. And before the knockers start my father was a volunteer fireman.

It would be so much better if people had to opt in to get unwanted unsolicited calls, not opt out

Caller: Not sure if it is spam or Qld Rural Fire Brigade fund raising.

5 unanswered calls since 12/12/20 from this number, quite persistent and because they do cold calls they are unaware that the person they are calling is recently deceased by one month. I will block them.

do not know who called as they did not leave a message but it appears as though this number is back in use

Caller: (07) 5480 1369

I didn't answer it as it was an unknown number to me. They rang for 23 seconds and hung up, didn't leave a voice message. Looking at the previous messages this is definitely a scam and not the rural fire brigade. Don't be tricked like 'Bob'. But Bob himself might be a scammer as well :)

Caller: (07) 5480 1369

Stopped calling for a while, but is back on trying to scam me for Firies fundraising. Do NOT give any personal details!

Received a phone call from (07) 5480 1369 today. I answered it as it appears as a proper number. I said Hello twice, No answer. I am so annoyed with the people who are dialling my number for scams.

Th people who try to get others money in a middle of a pandemic are the worse. They are not humans. They are monsters. Bad Karma will come back to you

PLEASE READ COMMENTS FROM:

ANNIE + RETROFELLA + JAY + SANDMAN (The BEST MOST ACCURATE COMMENTS!)

ANY phone call anyone receives asking to confirm your details: DON’T! HANG UP!
Asking for Donations: DON’T! HANG UP!

If you really want to donate some $ or help a Cause / Crisis etc -
Sadly, no one out there can be trusted these days to just hand over $ to them, as it NEVER gets to their intended purpose!
We need to get off our lazy a*••• & go HELP - DIRECTLY!

There are plenty of legitimate Government websites & Offices etc to visit, to find out ... (where you can drop off clothes / food / necessities etc ) for the devastated people who have just lost everything!

And I definitely agree with SANDMAN!
WHY AREN’T DETECTIVES INVESTIGATING WHO KEEPS DOING THESE EVIL CRIMES!
THEY WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THEY ARE CAUGHT!
THEY NEED TO BE LOCKED UP!!

Caller: Looking at this page it was a scam

Get phone calls from this number when I answer it’s just silence, seems to be a scam like others have said. Stop bothering people!

I got a call and answered it. I said hello a dozen times but no response. Is that right? If you call me you answer the call not make me wait. You need me, I don’t need you to piss me off and make me wait. Do you think there’s any hope of getting a donation from an upset and angry person, I don’t think so.

As with all these pests. Just block their number they will only get a busy signal when they call

Caller: Fire Charity?

No message, but the phone ID came up as Fire Charity.
I very much doubt this as, what charity would call someone in such desperate and troublesome times with employment sky rocketing and so many, like myself, have been put out of work. Especially considering the 10's of millions of dollars that have been raised for them recently in the wake of the bushfire crisis.I, for one, am skeptical! Number is now blocked!

Just got a call from (07) 5480 1369 and they didn't respond after I answered it so I just hung up on them
