I've been getting a lot of calls from charities the the past few months and don't appreciate it. I dedicate time and money every year to support them and will continue to do so, but if they call me then it's a bit of a black mark against them I'm afraid. They really try to pressure you into donating monthly - I appreciate why this is a better business model for them but it doesn't work for me and sadly, I have had to explain this several times to a phone operator - some pushier than others - and it's putting me off. I want to donate and be left alone. Zero interest in being contacted.

Caller: Public Outreach Consultancy

They are calling on behalf of Charity that I deal with, I found them to be legit. They know full name, my old credit card details, my email and my address. They also knew the amount of money i donated to Greenpeace every month.

I dont know what other peoples dealing are with them but i found them to be above board.

Collecting for multiple charities. Persistent. Call at same time every day. Twice a day.

I've been receiving unsolicited calls from this number. It connects to Public Outreach Consultancy, which is a company that fundraises for various charities.

Its because you donate that they are targetting you. Do your homework - look up their latest financial report through the government ABN number. Browse through to see where your money goes. Many charity fundraiser companies take most of what you donate as 'fees' and 'wages' - ie, they pay themselves very handsomely, and pass on very little to the actual charity. This should be criminalised in my opinion.

Charity phone. They are pretty insistent, call at least three times per day. I had to block them.

Caller: I don’t know

‭(03) 8593 9726‬ I said hello and the hung up on me

Annoying - they keep asking for Samuel Dale. So many calls from different Melbourne numbers, including this one, to my work mobile

charity

Caller: Make a wish foundation

They claimed to be make a wish foundation

I have received calls from this number a few times. As it is a number I don't recognise, I have not answered it. And I won't be.

Don't answer! Waste of time

Sick of all these calls from charities and scammers!!! Ahhhhh

Seems apart of the scams. I called back and gave me options like it's a charity. I did not apply to this at all
