Hung up as soon as I spoke into phone

Well, here we go again. I just received a call from this number so the scam is still going.

This number continues to harrass and harrass. I dont care either if they are from the rural fire brigade. they should show some common sense and stop being so rude and abusing their position. You dont ring people 247, hang up and never say anything. they are disturbing everyones peace. Why do they act like some 3rd world scammer. If they are the professionals they are supposed to be then why not act like.

Spam/10

Had these guys ring me after 5 pm pain in the butts

Just had call at 7pm. This is not from rural fire brigade it is a scam as per the rural fire bridges own website. This number is pretending to be selling tickets in there fundraising however you never get the tickets. Lesson. Don't give your credit card to anyone over the phone ask for a brochure to be sent out or after the call check out the light webpage.

They are still at it. Why would anyone give their credit card details to a complete stranger on the other end of the line. People wonder why they get ripped off.

I received multiple calls on my mobile. When I get one like that I simple enter the number as a contact under a heading of F*%king Scammer or similar so that when they try again I know not to accept the call.

If its' the RFB, it'd be nice if they said something after I've stopped my noisy machinery and dug out my phone from under my winter woolies to answer their their call.

Hung up when answering - waste of time for all concerned

Get your facts straight. Only some councils collect levies, and even then it's no where near enough to cover everything a brigade does. I can only assume your brigade is very inactive...

Yep - same deal as many others. Rings at dinner time then hangs up when someone answers. Not the right people to be using if you want people to donate to a worthwhile cause. Unacceptable!

It's a scam I bought $30 of tickets they said it would be in the mail no ticket arrived.
They phoned again I said I never saw the last lot of tickets he still tried to sell me more . I got stung for $30

Simply incorrect. Perhaps some intelligent fact checking is requiring? Only some brigades get funding from local councils.

Two calls in last week, hanging up as soon as I answer

The problem isn't what the fund raising is for, the problem is that it's a scam and they have nothing to do with the cause.

I too received my first call which resulted in the remote party terminating the call without communicating to me. Silence and then a hang up.

For those getting calls on their mobiles and who do not wish to get them, simply block the number.

not all brigades receive levy money. check your facts before posting stuff on sites.

They constantly ring my home phone and hang up not leaving a message. I have to check from work (I get notified if there is a home message) in case it is about my elderly mother ... its annoying.

What is wrong with this people? so annoying
