Recent comments reveal a mixed perception of calls from +61754801369, with many users linking the number to the Rural Fire Brigades Association Queensland. While some describe the outreach as a legitimate charity fundraiser for art union tickets, others flag it as a scam or aggressive telemarketing. To protect yourself, always verify the caller by calling the official RFBAQ contact number listed on their website, never share banking details over the phone, and request removal from their call list if you’re not interested. Register the number on the national Do Not Call registry and consider blocking persistent callers.
I also got a call from this number, but I ingnored it. I dont know why a QLD number would be calling me. Looking at the other coments, it seems like this number has been used for scams since 2014.
Another call arrived from this number, but I ignored it since I have no reason for an (07) line to reach me; past reports show it’s been tied to scams since 2014.
After recieving a call from this number, I chose to ignore it, as there is no reason for a (07) number to be contacting me, and upon reviewing other comments, it appears this number has been involved in scams dating back to around 2014
A guy with an Aussie accent called me from this number. He was pretty anoyed when he relized he was talking to my voicemail.
Unfamiliar with the number from Gympie, I let it ring; a man with an Australian accent eventually spoke, getting upset when he hit my voicemail, which he called an “answering machine.”
Sounds like a scam to me. Dont beleive it.
Got a call from this number, supposidly from Gympie QLD. But no one was on the line. Looked it up and it's listed as a Rural Fire Brigades number from 2015.
Had to look up this number because I've been getting so many calls from fake Prime Amazon and eBay people. This one sounded new, so I hung up and blocked it.
Confirmed scammer. Dont give them any info.
Got one of those super anoying calls where there's just dead air. So frustrating.
Answering the call yielded only dead air, which felt both irritating and uneasy.
When I answered the call, there was nothing but silence, which was quite annoyning
Bad news
Everyone's getting worked up over this Rural Fire Brigades Association number, but from what I can tell, it's legit charity work. See for yourself: https://www.rfbaq.org/)
That line is tied to a charity initiative involving art union sales for the RFBAQ; more details are available at www.rfbaq.org/?tgtPage=news&id=view,294#:~:text=The%20RFBAQ's%20Contact%20Centre%20is,friendly%20RFBAQ%20Contact%20Centre%20employee.
Bit suss, this one. Claimed to be from the Queensland Rural Fire Brigade, but how'd they know I'm in QLD?
A caller claimed to be from Queensland RFB, which is odd since they somehow knew my current state.
This call was unmistakably spam.
I recieved a call on my mobile from someone claiming to be from the Queensland RFB, but I'm unsure how they knew which state I was in, which is a bit suspisous
Answered the phone, but nobody spoke. Just blocked the number.
When I picked up, nobody spoke; I dropped the call and blocked the number because of the silence.
After answering the call, there was silence, prompting me to hang up and block the number.
Blimey, just read through all the complaints about this number. Decided to block it myself.
Scam, scam, scam. Block the number and forget about it.
Definitely a scam; I suggest blocking this number to stop any further contact.
Seeing a flood of grievances dating back to 2015 about the unsolicited (07) 5480 1369 number, I immediately blocked and erased it.
It's advisable to disregard this number and block it, as it appears to be a scam.
After reading all the complaints about this number, i just recieved a call from it, i have now blocked and deleted the number, it was from Gympie, QLD
I did some researh and found that the RFB website says this number is legit. Maybe you guys are just gettin worked up over nothin. I am starting to think that.
I'm with RFS but I will never donate to charites that cold call. They know the loophole arround the do not call list.
