They also just called me at 8:50pm. I would not mind the call, as it was a legit call from the College but calling this late is extreme to gather money from individuals & Alumni.
I received a phone call from this number around 8:45 at night and it was a girl saying she was a student from UAB working for the College of Arts and Sciences and wanted donation money towards scholarships for students in the college of arts and sciences. I definitely thought it was a scam because who calls that late at night asking for donation money. Also they knew my personal information like name, address, phone number, and where I worked so that was a bit nerve-racking but then I thought maybe they really do work for UAB because how else would they have access to that information. Well this morning I called UABs College of Arts and Sciences to ask them was it a legit phone call or was someone pretending to represent them.
They did tell me that it was legot and their students typically call between 5 and 9 PM to ask for donations for scholarships from alumni. I'm glad it was a scam but they really should only call during the universities operation hours not late at night!
