A call from this number came through to my cell phone. My son just started as a freshman at UCLA, so when I saw Los Angeles area call I was understandably concerned. Now reading this blog I do think it was fundraising from UCLA, and this very likely originated from UCLA somehow because they are the only people in that area (we are in NC) that have my cell number. Overall I have found their fundraising very aggressive, we have received heavy pressure mail solicitations, and as brand new student parents struggling under the weight of out of state tuition we are not amused.
I get numerous calls from this number. Caller ID says "caller unknown" so I wait for them to leave a message before I pick up, but they never leave a message. Anyone else getting calls from this number? Thanks.
I've received a ton of calls from UCLA asking for money. Yes I am grateful for the education and where it has gotten me and my family. But I clearly stated to them that I am disgusted at what has become of the University and student body. Liberalism, while supposedly the most loving and giving/forgiving political bend, turns out to be the most hypocritical movement on Earth. As I have aged and succeeded I have found that my level headed conservative family and friends GIVE and FORGIVE on a much larger and wider spectrum than liberals that I have known. The old saying is indeed true.....if you are young and conservative you have no heart, if you are old and liberal you have no brain. I give charitable donations to many entities, and will leave scholarship money to the Universities I attended AFTER graduating from UCLA. Thank you very much.
