Fishing Licence NSW is still operating. They have a simple website https://gofishinginnswwaters.com this business is most likely not based in Sydney NSW Their telephone number 1300472914 is not connected. Doesn't have an ABN on website. They dont issue a tax invoice or receipt in the business name. But they do appear to be starting the NSW… Read more
fishing application with my personal details ( with a hefty fee added on).
Beware. Only use the legitimate NSW government site.
https://www.nswfishinglicences.com is trading again. Still charging a fortune for providing fishing licences that you can buy directly from Service NSW for a fraction of the price. They do not respond when you try to contact them. Avoid this website!
Watch out and ensure when getting a NSW fishing licence you use the genuine Service NSW Website and not this site! – When trying to get a NSW fishing licence for a month for $14 it appeared I was using the official NSW government website. Instead I was using this non official site which didn't even show the amount I was being charged. It was only when I checked my bank account I realised they had changed me $65 instead of $14! Note the picture http:// nswfishinglicences.com is not the correct site for $14 licences it's the shown ServicesNSW site!
SCAMMER ALERT – This company that is not even based in Australia absolutely manipulates the consumer in believing they are dealing with a NSW based Australian company. NSW Services allows them to operate even thou they will tell you at there head office that they are trying to have them removed, NSW government allows a company based over seas to take revenue… Read more
which should be used for our water ways.
STATE GOVERNMENT ALLOWS US AUSTRALIAN CITIZENS TO GET RIPPED OFF NSW FISHERIES WHO IS OWNED AND RUN BY AUSTRALIA GOVERNMENT SHOULD HAVE TO COMPENSATE FOR NOT ADDRESSING THIS SCAM THEY HAVE THE POWER TO TAKE DOWN THIS WEBSITE BUT DO NOTHING ABOUT IT .
Scam ripoff – Scam scam scam. Do not use, was in a hurry and didn’t pick up until too late. Don’t make the same mistake I did. When I realised we asked for a refund and no response.
Scam do not use – Scam charges triple as a premium do not use this service
I got scammed by Fishing Licences NSW – Fishing Licences NSW is a third party scammer. I went online to purchase a 1 year fishing licence at a cost of $35.00. Unbeknown to me they added $50 to the $35 I had approved to be charged to my credit card. I am very cautious and yes, I still got scammed by Fishing Licences NSW. DO NOT USE THIS SITE.
Scammers – Got tricked into this process , they say they provide a service which has no value . Please do not use this service. I will be in contact with the DPI and ACCC and lodge an official complaint to stop this type of unethical business model.
Scam - Do Not Use – It's probably too late for you now as it was for me. This is an absolute scam. This site masquerades as the official NSW license site and you simply cannot see the "fine print" on a mobile easily at all and it's cleverly designed to trick you and conceal charges. They charged a $50 premium for a 1 month license. They also spam call you just to make life even more difficult. Have reported them to the ACCC as this should not be allowed.
Scam. Beware – A total scam. Don’t use this service. Go directly to service NSW. They will overcharge you.
Scammers!!!! – As per others reviews, their site comes up on Google search, gouging you $50 over Service NSW $ for 3yr lic. DON’T USE THE FISHING LICENCES NSW SITE. It should be cancelled. You’ve been warned!
Absolute scam – Takes your money makes the site look like the real fishing nsw site and charges a fee. DO NOT SIGN UP with this site. Go to https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/services/recreational-fishing-licence. They do send the money to service nsw but charge $50 more for the pleasure of doing nothing. I only found out once I couldn'tlink my fishing licence.
Scammers price gouging – Price gouging scammers charging almost 5x as much to unsuspecting people wanting fishing license should be ashamed

Scammers – These people are nothing short of scammers and they should be stopped immediately. Google fishing license victoria and these scammers website pops up and use your information to then get your fishing license for a ridiculous admin fee. How they get away with this is ridiculous I will be contacting the VFA and make a formal complaint and it nothing short of deceitful
This is a scam – Website relies on unsuspecting consumers who are just seeking to renew a fishing licence then hide behind their terms and conditions. The fishing licence fee being charged is not itemised to reflect what you are paying for. Simply a total that appears to be the total cost of a fishing licence not the cost and excessive admin fee($50).
Scam Alert – This is not NSW government site. Claims it simplifies the process etc. but government site is easy as - name address , DOC etc. Licence immediate. This site will charge excessive fees for licence. E.g 1 month cost $14 through NSW primary industries - this site will try and charge you $64 for the same licence.
This is a fishing scam – It is a deceptive website that charges you twice as much to do what you can do through the NSW Service site... I was stupid and didn't know at the time - I tried to stop the transaction immediately, they would not refund my money. This company should be shut down, using stealth and SEO to con the public.
Beware or overcharging at end of process! Will cost you x 4 as much as actual licence fee! – Applied for a 1 month recreational fishing licence which NSW government charges $14. At end of process this intermediary company charged me a $64 fee! Absolute rip off. Use www.service.nsw.gov.au to pay correct fee for your requested licence.
