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

A lady call me at 5:49pm with this (604) 827-4173 phone number.She try to get my name and address.
When I asked her name and to give me phone No. so I can call her back, she hanged up.

also got calls from (604) 822-9960 and (604) 827-4173 multiple times. never took the calls though and there was no message left.

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 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.

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.

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.
