ALERT: RSL Phone Scam

We have recently been alerted to a phone scam operating under the guise of RSL.  Members of the public have reported receiving calls from individuals claiming to be RSL staff members and seeking ‘opt-ins’ to the charity.

Please note, RSL Australia does not undertake any telephone marketing and will never ask for financial contributions, donations or for any personal information via this channel.

While some of our RSL Branches do undertake fundraising campaigns periodically, this is typically through street appeals or via official RSL websites.

As per Australia’s Cyber Security Centre advice, we encourage people to be extra cautious if asked to supply personal details or financial contributions via an unknown phone number or email. The recommended advice is to decline and seek clarification through the official company contact lines.

How to report a scam:

If you have experienced any suspicious phishing behaviour associated to the RSL please report this along with any supporting details (emails, phone numbers etc) so it can be further investigated.
