I've had calls from a similar number: 412-395-8624. I did find elsewhere that the block of phone numbers from 412-395-8000 to -9999 are reserved for a TSG communications company (phone provider) in Pittsburgh, PA. I am inclined to guess that the number calling originates in a call center. I've heard of such an arrangement with another number that called me for awhile. The call center followed up on web inquiries about the school - answering questions about admissions, programming, majors, etc. Thing is, the folks at the call center do it for any of a number of schools. I've looked at about a dozen schools online recently looking for certain types of masters degree programs. None of these are in PA. I have filled out info requesting more info from several so not sure which particular one is calling repeatedly. If I ever figure it out though rest assured they will be off my list simply because of this stupid tactic of repeatedly calling people, during the day while they are at work.
I called the number back on another phone. They answered "Art Institute" So everyone leaving comments- you most likely expressed an intrest in this college and they are trying to reach you.
and we only call people whos information is sent to us (usually by that person). if you don't want called by someone, don't put your number on a website..duh.
if someone kindly asks me to stop calling them or delete their number from the computer, i'm cool with that. ignore it and someone will just think you're tough to reach - and keep calling
You should answer your phones! How hard is it to answer a phone and if you are not interested...hang up?!?! I mean really people Are we living such a time of fear that people see a strange number and don't answer because they don't know who is on the other end? Keep ignoring those calls and you may just miss out on some radio station doing a random give away. Or it could be a scam. But you being the smart person you are would pick up on that and then you know what you do??? You guessed it! Hang up! Idiots.
