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 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?

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.

don't get on the do-no-call-list. I heard they're just selling the numbers they get from that list to companies, so don't bother. Filing complaints won't do any good if they really are planning to sell them. Not picking up is the best solution.

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 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...........

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.
