Caller: I dont know

How is this number allowed to exist.
Years of scamming and nothing done.

Caller: Missed the call

Hi All

Everyone thinks this is a scam. It may be a nuisance, and unsolicited, but IT ISN'T A SCAM. Have a look at the website for the RFBAQ - this is what they say.....


Received a call from (07) 5480 1369?

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.


Don’t like doing things over the phone? No problem. You can purchase tickets in our Art Unions right here on our website, and of course you can make a tax-deductible donation if you prefer.


RFBAQ is a Registered Charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission.

Unfortunately, I missed their call - so as is my normal practice, I googled "Who called me from .......". I've looked at their website, and it's a really worthwile bunch of people doing really good work. I won't donate over the phone - and I never give credit card details over the phone. but I do live in a semi-rural suburb of Brisbane, and would like these guys to be around if my home is threatened by bushfire. So I'm going to buy tickets in their lotteries (using PayPal).

We're all sick of people asking for donations - and we're all sick of being intruded on at home - but some issues are important enough that these intrusions are justifiable. Just say NO if you want to. In my case, if I like their cause, I say Sorry - NOT OVER THE PHONE, but I'll get onto your website.

Just my two cents worth John

This number keeps calling my mobile but after reading comments I will block.

Said she was from the rural fire brigade, asked how I was and hung up

Caller: Aristotle

Told “Aristotle” to suck me off. He asked for $50. Not a bad price if you ask me ! I put out his fire if anything 😉

Caller: Wayne kerr cummmberbatch

Told lil Wayne to suck my 9incher, he wasn’t impressed but said he would suck it for a 5er. Definately legit

unknown from Gympie...no wjere near herr. No message.

Caller: RFB?

Only Scammers and Multinational companies and Power Companies Owned by Communist China that I don’t Like I can say Not Interested.!!!

Don’t pick up

Caller: (07) 5480 1369

Hi Sandman,
Make that a lot more than 2 years. I just got called in Oct 2023. I had it blocked though, so no harm done.

Caller: RFB

SCAM ALERT!!! Do not give any details.

The caller did not say anything...........so it is a scam call.

Caller: Rural Fire Brigade

(07) 5480 1369 is absolutely the Qld Rural Fire Brigade. They have been providing tickets to me via this number for several years. I never give them my credit card details, I confirm how many tickets I require and ask them to send me
The payment details in the mail pay. On receiving the information, I direct debit the payment and I receive a confirmation with ticket numbers within a few days.

Will call you back

Caller: RFBAQ Gympie

Bob. What you are saying is a lie. The RFS provide trucks, equipment, protective clothing & many other levels of support.
Selling raffle tickets like any other telemarketer, is not good for the reputation of Rural Fire Brigades. People will be much more
Willing to give to their local fire brigades without repeatedly being called.
