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

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....

received a phone call from (604) 827-4173, very strange, ask me name an address. something about being a UBC fundraiser. I did not give her my name let alone my address.

Got a call earlier from this number with 'Private' on the call display with the number. I am also a UBC Alumni. No message was left.

By the way, donating to UBC puts money into funding their cruel and unnecessary animal testing labs!!
Don't give funds to UBC!

I got a call from (604) 827-4173 today, 11/7/09. the caller is a female, said her name is Joyce, a second year student from China at UBC.She pressed me hard for donation for text books. She said poor students at UBC can not afford text books and Library only has 4 text books to lend out for about 2 hours each. It sounds very strange to me with this kind of pitch for donation. I want to block this phone number. She knows our home address and phone number. I wonder where she got our personal information from? who she really is?

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.

It is strange phone No.
