I also graduated from Washington U (in St Louis that is) so its either someone calling on behalf of the university or a group that has obtained the graduate list
Calls.....doesn't leave a message.....I call back with my phone id hidden and I get the same recording......person not at desk....I block the number from coming through again .....and sure enough the same person/people call under a phone that is identical except for 2 last numbers......I've blocked that too. When they answer the phone it is a recording and doesn't identify who they are .
I've received 3 calls over the past 10 days or so from this number. For me, also, they never leave a message. I have been presuming it is my Alma Mater calling for a fundraiser, as their area code and exchange is 314-935-xxxx variations.
