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 have been receiving a call from this number everyday for the past week, usually around 8pm.  Never answered because it is UBC asking for money.  My phone number is on the do not call list (donotcall.gov) so I file a complaint everytime they call.If you get calls from this number I recommend you also file complaints (make sure you are on the do not call list first obviously) so that this can be stopped.  Yes, they will go after international callers (so it says in the faq)

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.

I will not donate as long as they continue their inhumane, scientifically fallacious experiments on animals! See Stop Vivisection Canada!  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Stop-Vivisection-Canada/105403562830754?v=wall&ref=ts

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?

Just got in this Monday 9/17/2012 and that number (604) 827-4399 called me three times and no message. I am not at UBC or a UBC graduate, so why do I get their calls and why all the hangup calls to everyone. I am going to report it to Telus as that is where I pay all my money to to not be harassed like this. They have called me before but three times on a Monday morning come on people who harass us, stop the damn nonsense.

same here, have been getting multiple calls from (604) 827-4173. i don't recognize the number so i don't answer. they never leave a message. i'm a UBC grad so makes sense it might be fundraising since there's no-one else who would be calling me from this area code... however if indeed it is UBC telemarketing, it's a TERRIBLE way to get any alumni funding!
