Look, we haven’t touched base with QLD in over a decade, so if these guys think they’re legit, they’ve got some old info. No message, and the call didn’t connect when I tried to ring back. Very bizarre.

I reckon this one is definitely not legit! Total scammer vibes here, so I’ve just gone ahead and blocked the number!

This number rang, but there was nothing left on the voicemail. A bit sketchy, if you ask me. Could be shifty, could be nothing - who even knows?

No clue why they even bothered to call me since I don’t live there. Honestly, take your dodgy donation requests elsewhere! I’ll stick to donating to my local fire service. Seriously, who actually falls for this stuff?

Listen up, everyone! Don't even think about giving this bloke a cent! He’s just conning you under the guise of raising money for the Rural Fire Brigade. This dodgy character is a seasoned scammer, known for his shifty schemes and ripping off countless people with cheap shipping container scams. Honestly, I'd love to corner him in a dark alley for some “receipt collection” of my own!

They gave me a bell, and I did some digging. Seems all above board, even though they messed up saying my number was registered in QLD ages ago. Been in WA for 25 years, so how they got my number is a mystery! Still, polite as pie on the phone.

Heard they’re selling your info after you buy tickets from Mater Lotteries. If that's the case, they’re as crooked as they come. Be aware!

Received a call from 0754801369 or 0754801313?

That is our contact centre calling around the State seeking the support of the community. We sell raffle tickets and collect donations to help our volunteers.

When we call, you can always be assured that our friendly staff will give you their name and let you know how they’re calling for and why. Want some more information from them? Just ask! They will provide you with all necessary information to ensure your full confidence in any transaction.

So, this one’s actually from our local Rural Fire Brigades call centre. They’re a charity doing good work, no worries there!

Not keen on picking up calls from a weird number. I'm down in VIC, and this one's from QLD, which is a bit sus. No msg left, so it can't be urgent, yeah?

Listen mate, don't even think about giving a dollar to this dodgy operation. They're just out to scam you! Just block and move on!

I wasn't keen on doing a donation over the phone, so they shot me a link to their website instead. Chose my brigade, made the donation, and lo and behold, a receipt landed in my inbox the next day. Pretty smooth, I must say!

This call claimed to be from Gympie, right? No message left, so it can't be anything worth my time. Probably just some annoying marketing spiel, if you ask me.

Always keen to support our volunteers! But my local council keeps slapping on a fire levy and spends it on their own agendas, not on what we need.

I've bought their raffle tickets plenty of times, and honestly, I've never hit a snag.

Got a missed call from this number and no voicemail left. Some say it could be from the rural fire service, but I'm already paying for that through my rates! Confusing, right?

Robocall pretending to be Queensland Fire Service. Not even legit govt organization is spared from bullshyte scammers.

Hey, just to clarify, not all councils put a levy in place, and I'm more than happy to pitch in and support the volunteers. They've been doing a ripper job!

This caller had the nerve to say they were collecting for the Rural Fire Service. But hang on, my rates already cover that! This sounds like a scam to me, big time!

This call seems legit and I’m all for it!

These guys keep ringing me about once a year for fundraising, probably using a bought list. Super annoying, but not what you'd call a scam or anything really. Just a bit of a nuisance!

Just got a call from the Rural Fire Association. Gave 'em a hand with a donation for the fire brigades and they sent me a proper receipt. Good folks!

Sure thing, mate! This number showed up on a charity's website, guess what? That doesn't mean a thing. Don’t fall for it, they're just trying to rip you off!

Just got a call from this number, and guess what? They didn’t bother leaving a message. Sounds like trouble, so I’ve blocked them! Don’t fancy getting burnt by any dodgy blokes.

G’day! Just a heads up, this number is totally legit. They’re with RFBAQ, opposite Westpac. Used to work there, and trust me, they deal in live transactions—very above board!

I received a call from the RFBAQ, the Rural Fire Brigades Association Queensland. I'm all for them, our fireys do an ace job!
