(03) 8849 9848 - 0388499848: Local landline number in Melbourne, VIC 3000

We did not answer the call, and the caller did not leave a message. Given that we do not know anyone in Victoria, this is likely a spam call.

I question why charities choose to use telemarketers for fundraising efforts. It's concerning how much of the donated money actually reaches the charity after the telemarketer takes their cut. Personally, I do not engage with calls of this nature.

I have received multiple calls from this number, ringing twice before hanging up each time without leaving a message. Since July, I've documented thirteen calls from them, which suggests they aren't reaching out for anything important. Out of curiosity, I returned the call using a blocked number, and the person on the other end identified themselves as representing Apple Marketing, which specializes in charity fundraising. I believe this number should be added to the spam list.

The caller reached out to my mobile phone but did not leave a voicemail message. Based on the various comments I’ve read, it seems this number may be linked to a legitimate charity, while others suggest it could be a related scam. The conflicting opinions leave me hesitant to trust this number.

I've received four missed calls from this unknown number over the past two weeks, and they never leave a message. Based on other people's reports, it appears that this is a serial spammer.

I recommend that if you're receiving unwanted calls via an NBN connection and have a compatible router, check if it can block specific numbers or a range of numbers at once. By doing this for each nuisance call you receive, you can significantly reduce the number of unwanted calls. Alternatively, consider allowing calls only from numbers saved in your contacts.

Called multiple times. On landline and mobile. Unknown number. We don't answer. Does not leave a message.

The calls from this number have been quiet for a few days, possibly because everyone is preoccupied with the Women's World Cup Soccer. However, I have started receiving calls again, but no messages are being left. Even if this could be a legitimate charity, I don't feel comfortable donating money to strangers over the phone. I agree with other reports stating that if this is an attempt on behalf of the Salvation Army, they are damaging their reputation. I’ve now blocked this number.

I've been receiving an increased number of charity calls over the past few months. While I regularly donate to a specific animal welfare charity, I will not be contributing to any other organizations due to the high volume of unwanted calls. It's frustrating for them to not realize they are eliminating themselves from potential donations by being persistent and annoying.

I have now blocked this number as my phone does not ring for incoming calls from them. Instead, I receive an SMS notification stating that I missed a call from this number. It's incredibly annoying!
