P
Paton
Scam

This number belongs to a persistent charity organization (Guide Dogs) that continues to call even though I am currently unemployed and unable to donate. I felt it necessary to inform the caller about my situation. 😡

B
Berens
Suspicious

The caller began by saying, "You have reached Scams Unlimited, how may I direct your call?" They mentioned being associated with 1 Telstra and other organizations, but then hung up. Although their initial approach seemed legitimate, I do not support Guide Dogs as a charity, and I have my own chosen charities.

M
Mulligan
Suspicious

I'm skeptical about calls asking for donations. If they can’t tell me exactly how much money goes directly to the dogs, I suspect that very little, perhaps only a few cents per dollar, is actually used for this cause.

C
Cardone
Spam

After I donated to their organization, I began receiving frequent calls that haven’t stopped. I have blocked this number, but I anticipate they will soon contact me from another number. It makes me wonder how much of my donation actually goes to training the dogs and how much is used to pay individuals to make these annoying calls.

P
Privett
Suspicious

The caller identified herself as being from a guide dog organization. I interrupted her to say that I wasn't in a position to help, but I'm concerned that they will continue to call.

S
Spindler
Spam

I have blocked this number, yet calls continue to come through. They seem insistent despite my attempts to be polite, highlighting potential issues for those with disabilities. I regret ever making a donation to them as they are abusing the charity loophole regarding the Do Not Call register.

L
Lampert
Spam

I made a one-time donation to the Guide Dogs organization back in 2020, and now they keep calling me every few months. I fully support their amazing work, but it's incredibly frustrating when you've requested no further calls.

B
Bon
Spam

I have contacted Guide Dogs multiple times to inform them that I am unable to donate anymore. Despite this, they continue to call me repeatedly, which is extremely frustrating and annoying.

M
Mones
Scam

This particular scammer has called me without leaving any voicemail. I find their intent suspicious, and I've reported them to Scamwatch for further action.

M
Mungo
Spam

Guide Dogs Queensland has been calling people without permission. If this is still your number, please stop unsolicited calls.

B
Baldock
Spam

I missed a call from this number, and since they did not leave a message, I decided to block them. I encourage others to report such calls, as it helps keep us aware of potential nuisances.

N
Ngu
Spam

I have received numerous phone calls from this number despite asking them on two separate occasions to remove me from their call list. I will seek them out myself if I wish to participate in any fundraising activities. Unfortunately, I received yet another call after my latest request.

M
Meinke
Legit

Legit company (Guide Dogs QLD) but constant harrassment by phone and email to try to get you to donate to them.

T
Trees
Spam

I have been receiving daily calls from this number for several weeks, which is extremely frustrating. I have blocked the number, yet I continue to receive missed call notifications. I have tried to be polite, but this persistent calling is unacceptable.

B
Brecher
Suspicious

I have been receiving calls from this number almost every day or every other day for the past one to two months. It seems like the issue is ongoing and has not been resolved.

C
Chau
Spam

I seem to get calls from this number every month, regardless of the fact that I have already asked them not to contact me.

M
Mikkelsen
Suspicious

When I answered the phone, no one spoke to me. Shortly after, they called my mobile again but left no message again. This behavior is suspicious.

E
Eugenio
Legit

I have received relentless calls from Guide Dogs QLD, which I find intrusive and bothersome. I have now blocked this number to avoid further disturbances.

E
Even
Uncertain

From my experience at a call center, I realized that simply asking not to be contacted again or requesting removal from the Guide Dogs call list usually isn't effective. It's crucial to ask who the caller works for and specifically request to be removed from that company's call list. Simply mentioning the Guide Dogs could lead to additional calls from other charities instead.

Legit

I want to clarify that Guide Dogs Queensland partners with Guide Dogs Victoria. If you're a customer in Victoria, please know that when you purchase products through us, the funds are used in your state, ensuring support is given where it’s needed. It’s understandable that this can be a bit confusing, but we ensure that contributions remain within the community of the supporter.

C
Corney
Uncertain

I have been a long-time donor to various causes, but I can no longer continue due to the constant harassment I have been receiving from them; it's really discouraging.

G
Gauna
Uncertain

Several calls weekly from this number. Just pick up and put down is what I do. Is the number really from Bribie Island?! Bit far far away for me....

D

It is the number for Guide Dogs Qld.
