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.

To those of you who have indicated you work at these call centers, what is your defense for me receiving 5 calls a day? Especially when I am in class at a different college because it took your school a year and a half before it decided my money was important.
If it was one call a day, that would be one thing, but because I get so many flippin' calls from you guys each and every day, the easist thing for me to do is put every single one of you guys on my reject list. There is plenty of room for you all, so please keep on calling so I can keep adding numbers.
I get a call from this number about 3 times a day. Since I have caller ID and this number appears as an unknown number I do not answer but it is annoying. I am on the 'do not call list'.
