Caller: Fake RFBAQ

These people claiming to be RFB fund raisers are scammers. This was drilled into us when joining the RFB, that there is no legit cold-calling center for RFB donations. The money you donate does not go to the RFB as RFB gets their money through local levies and brigade-driven fundraising events. Do not donate to these cold-callers. Never give your credit card details to anyone over the phone, especially if they called you.

Constantly ring and hang up at VM

Scam pretending to be RFS. Better safe than sorry 🤷‍♂️

Caller: Rural fire brigade ART UNION fundraising

This is, in fact the art union fundraiser for the RFBQ, however it was an unsoliciited

its not RFBAQ

Didn’t bother to pick up. Blocked after reading all these comments.

Calls but no response when answered. Probably some kind of scam

Caller: Rural Volunteer Fire Brigade QLD

Unusually they called my mobile number of many decades via Skype? It's genuine but I didn't have time to stay on the line. Their supervisor/ Coach was pressing them a bit hard to stay on the line to secure the sale as they usually won't do call backs. I said call back and gave my full name? I don't like giving c/cards over the phone to any organisation or business period.

Caller: I no longer answer calls unless one of my contacts

Sadly this is now so common I only make donations f2f

Got a call and forgot too answer it 🙃😅😏🤭 sounds like was the correct plan as going by what read was a phish/scam call anyway 🤨🤬🥵🤷‍♂️ seems becoming a habit of mine now as 99.99% calls get are now anyway as do most my "calls" telegram or messenger anyway 😀😄😆😅🤣😂🤭

Didn't know the number an wasn't expecting a call at the same time so no idea nor information who the heck is 🤔🫠🫣😵‍💫😳🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ probably a good idea if don't know or give a freaking dam, then don't answer nor give a sh*t 😉😋😏🫣😅🤣😂🤭

f*ck off spastic

I just received a call from this number. Whenever I get a call from QLD unknown number, I just accept the call but never say anything. Just silent.
Scammer will hung up. This works 100% so far. Then, block the number.

Caller: (07) 5480 1369

It's late January 2023 and this pest caller is still busy. Block. Beware.

They left no message when I didn't answer. Blocked now

I am so sick and tired of all these nuisance calls. My phone calls are constant. After getting a quote and purchasing outdoor awnings. Bit of a coincidence maybe.. but that's when it started

A collection agency that skims 80% of donations ... legal scam

Caller: Rural fires association Qld

The rural brigades receive funding from the emergency service’s levy collected by councils. They also are funded by the levies that are collected as part of your 3rd party insurance payable with your registration. Brigades no longer have to fund raise, and any brigades that are still trying to fund raise are in most cases waiting the funds provided on items such as 75inch televisions and other items that are simply not needed for a brigade to be operational.

Upon calling the Rural Fire Service from a number on their website, I was told that the number in question [(07) 5480 1369] isn't a list one of their numbers, and was most likely a scam.

They also stated that they don't call people asking for donations.

Caller: Unknown

Why hang up as soon as I answer. Third call in as many days. Moved to my spam and blocked folder.
