UBC soliciting for donations.

Good point. If you were a student, as I was, there you already paid them several thousands.

UBC looking for money. Telling you how much they think is a suitable donation. Had to hang up because declining to donate just lead to a debate. Very annoying.

They keep calling. Must be donation. No message at all. Annoying

Hung up before I could answer. Caller ID says University BC.

I haven't answered...4 calls in five days

I know a friend who used to work as a ubc fundraiser caller, telling them you don't want to be called isn't enough. You have to say you want to be put on the no call list and not to be contacted for any "charity opportunities". They are legit though they are not trying to scam you. Some of the things they fund raise for are pretty important like funding bursaries and scholarships.

unless you belong to the negligible minority who refuse ANY medical treatment under any circumstances, you are just another self-righteous hypocrite. 'unnecessary' ?? when your family members suffer from cancer, or alzheimers or MS or who knows what else, and you see their suffering and pain, you wont be so simple minded as to brand our research (that is conducted under direct observation and approval of the CCAC, by the way) as un-necessary, and stick to tea and orange juice. people such as yourself enjoy passing scientists as maniacs with a taste for animal flesh and blood and zero morality. I guess scapegoating us is a good way of easing your own consciences and pushing the burden right off your own shoulders. just remember, darling, the next time you take a medication, its been animal tested. now, go ahead and take it, and when you're feeling better, take the time to blame us for doing your dirty work for you.

Got a call from this number twice, but no one answered after I picked up the call.  If this is a fundraiser, then why didn't they say something and just wasted their time playing with the phone????

I'm kind of confused....

AHH! This number has been calling me everyday for the past month! When I see their number, I just ignore, but they won't give up. C'mon kids, the sun is shining, go out and enjoy it!

Calling me as well, I don't answer and they don't leave message. I am also a UBC grad

the best option is to answer, decline, and then explicitly ask them to remove you from their calling list. the list may be regenerated after a while but that should by you time. good luck.
