I have two numbers - (02) 8088 1400 and (02) 8198 6598  - it is Insight calling on behalf of RSPCA because I was stupid enough to donate years ago. They ring every day at the same time for weeks, and then stop for a week, and then try again at a new time. I told them no i would not be dontating but they keep calling. My friend answered once when i was driving and they hung up on her so now when they ring i just answer the call and leave it sitting on my bench.

One day I might talk to them and give them a piece of my mind. At the moment though i am content with not talking to them.

We too received a call from these people who didnt seem to answer when we picked up the phone and then my hubby just hung up. I do give to charities sometimes the ones that are genuine and identify themselves straight away and usually can send supporting info in the mail! Dont give our your ccard details to anyone over the phone unless you are 100 percent sure it is legit! We are also on the Do Not Call register!

It's clearly the call centre company these charities employ to help with fundraising. They do the PCYC, asthma foundation, RSPCA, KidzWish, Cerical Cancer Aus, Heart Research Institute, Green Cross etcIt is legitimate and the bottom line is.. it is the best method to raise money for these charities...as thousands of people take entries into these raffles as their preferred means of helping.Save more kids/animals lives and call people for fundraising VS more kids dying and not using the phones...   tough call?
