I am the parent of a ucla freshman. I received a call from this number on a weeknight at 6:44 pm California time. No message left by caller. Returned call and respondent, a youthful sounding female, answered the phone "ucla medical center". I Then advised that my son was a student and asked who called me and why. She said she could check to see if he was a pAtient, then put me on hold - I made the mistake of giving his name. She then put me on hold and came back and reported he was not a patient. I then reached my son on the cell phone and he reported that he had never been to ucla hospital. I suppose they were harvesting names.
This follows my earlier post of this date. Though 310 794 9966 is not a published number for ucla, it is indeed one of the "default" numbers left by a variety of phones in use in the Med Ctr and the rest of the campus. I was directly connected tithe Med Ctr by 411 operator (I did not dial any number). When I asked the switchboard operator at the Med Ctr if the subject number was the number fir ucla patient info, she confirmed that it was. She seemed familiar with the problems described on this site and mentioned that there was yet another number, 825 something, that was sometimes left as a default. The problem is that no message is left, the default med Ctr number is left on caller I.d. And the return caller is left with (in my case) that he has received an intentional call fr the med Ctr. Troubling when you live 2000 miles away from L.A. And your only connection to the campus is your son, a UCLA freshman.
I graduated in '94 and was a part of the SSN hack. Just got a call at my father's house, whose number is not associated with me in ANY of my financial records. I did not answer; no message was left.
