Keep getting calls from this number - 4 in the last 2 days. I refuse to answer the call - just let it ring out. I am on the Do Not Call Register but it doesn't make any difference.

I keep getting calls from this number but no one is on th eline. I have dialled it back only to be told that the number is not in service...scammers.

We are also getting these calls in Qld as well, and the QRFS (Queensland Rural Fire Services) up here mainly does their own fundraising by way of Donations, Raffle Tickets and applying for grants, the RFBA will mainly send out a letter asking you if you would like to purchase a ticket, so all these calls are is only a scam, the best thing you all can do is warn your friends

Claimed to be from the Rural Fire Service association (funny 'cause I got a call last week from the same number claiming to be from the State Emergency Service Association).

Trying to raise funds for "our emergency services volunteers" - funny last time I looked at NSW Treasury documents both organisations are fund by the NSW Govt.

It seems this association has charity status and is exempt from the Do Not Call register.

The association that represents our volunteers and salaried staff, the NSW Rural Fire Service Association, does undertake telephone sales of raffle tickets.

The operators are required to establish their bona fides to any caller and to offer a return call number (They can be contacted on 1300 886 067). They send out pledge letters as opposed to seeking direct donations. This is a legitimate activity to benefit our volunteers.


Did you bother to read it or did you just cut and paste?

I'm in the ACT - also had a missed call from this number!

Ok so they just called me back, they aren't a scam at all, they are the NSW Rural Fire Service Association. Different to the Rural Fire Service...www.rfsa.org.auThey are legit and they are raising money for a good cause. The call center number is 1300 886 067.
