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 got a call on my cell phone voicemail from this number on 1/8/09 at the equivalent of 5:21 PM Vancouver time.  No message either.

I have been getting calls from this number over 3 months. One time I answered but I told I would be heading out the door - so they said they would call back. It is usually after 8pm, but it was Saturday at 3pm this time around. I am an UBC alumni so it makes sense that I get calls from them. After finding out who they were, I never answer the call...........

I also have been getting a lot of calls from this number in the past couple weeks. It says Private. There is never any message left. It would make sense that it is the UBC fundraiser as my wife is an alumni and they are horribly insistent (they give us credit card offers!) I Googles this number because it seemed familiar and I thought it might be someone I know but I guess it is just this dumb UBC telemarketing call... I swear, that university is more of a property and money raising institution than a school these days.

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!

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!
