They get snotty if you tell them that your not interested. If i was going to donate to a charity i defineatly would not do it over the phone i would do it in person or by mail to registered mailing address do not respond to these even if they are collecting for the so called rural fire brigade they would be keep 80 to 90% of the money as so called adminstration fees so if you feel so strongly about donating do it personally and not through these blood suckers

Rurals are now tottaly funded by gov..they probably want it for bbq etc

This number (07) 5480 1359 rang my home private number. yet we are listed as do not contact on the home canvassing list. they are obviously scammers.

Thanks for that, the same number was left on my answering service

How come I have an unlisted number but these people still ring and harass me ????

This number constantly rings again and again. I wish they would just give up !!!! Dont call........... dont ring.........go to hell (07) 5480 1369 ! Give up now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This number rang my FAX number over some 5 times in last hour....frustrating - thanks goodness I checked here to see who it was - they rang me on the landline yesterday grrrrr and it was the Rural Fire Brigade wanting me to buy raffle tickets - now that could be a scam to get my credit card details 0 glad a said no....

The person who rang on this number 54801369 today asked my mother to put CASH in an envelope and send it. That does not sound like a legitimate charity or fundraiser to me. I wish she got their address!!

That is completely untrue. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Why doesn't somebody do something about these harrassing calls from telemarketers and "fundraisers". Enough.

If you paid any attention to the information provided you would know that charities are not included in the "Do Not Call Register"

Number 2 of the FAQ section is as below

2. Will registering my number stop all telemarketing calls and marketing faxes?

No, registration won't stop all calls and faxes. Some public interest organisations (e.g. registered charities, political parties and educational institutions) can still call numbers listed on the register. This ensures these organisations can continue to provide valuable services to the community.

If you have an existing relationship with a business, it can still contact you, but you can advise them you do not wish to receive telemarketing calls or marketing faxes from them in the future.

I help my local services out and give money and time to them and worked as volunteer 40 years every telly marketer I get I ask do you do what you are doing for free or are you being paid for it by the time I Lyell them what I do they mostly hang up , but if they don't I say you could be any one . I never never never give out my card details to some one who rand me , and after having my criedt card hacked by over seas people buy online shoes I'm even more car full than be fpre I'm am never going to give out my details and you should not too cheers

Rang 2 consecutive days. Didn't leave a message thankfully.

..

why do they ring up and then hang up without talking? This is a standard process of a telemarker, whether they are a charity or not. And don't be fooled, those telemarketers that work for charities are usually on a $100,000 + income, depending on how much they bring in! They aren't working for free. Ask them how much they earn.

they rang me today and hanged up

7:10 pm friday night get phone call from rural fire brigade asking for money ..I enquire about how they got my number .woman tells me that they bought my number from a numbers broker but is unable to advise which company this is .How can someone I don't know sell my unlisted phone number .

While I do support the work of the Rural Fire Brigades and have donated in the past (not over the phone), the rentless calls and harrasment from these people just a turn-off and makes you not want to donate. And how do I know they are who they say. They are very aggressive so now just ignore the number

I understand that this may well be the rural fire brigade needing urgent funds but surely they have to understand that people have busy lives and do not want to be running to the phone all the time....maybe they better find a better and more effective way to raise the money they need!
I appreciate what these people out fighting fires as volunteers do....just not the time wasting calls.

I have asked charties such as red cross, save the children, and the heart foundation, to name a few, to take my name off there call list several times and they still continue to call, the should be on the do not call register too!! but I agree the governmet should help them more so they don't have to be wasting money calling people for money!
