University of Toronto may very well be soliciting for donations by phone (my husband's an alumni) but I stopped him in his tracks when I heard it giving out his American Express # over the phone to pay for the donation. Legitimate or not, we should NEVER do this in today's day and age.
Getting a number of these phone calls in the last few weeks which I'm not answering (416-946-0753, 416-946-0761, 416-946-0710, 416-946-0781, 416-946-0752, 416-946-0713, 905-454-3277). My Telus contract is expiring, and getting 866-558-2273, 877-279-3100 numbers too.
Getting Missed Calls from similar numbers. Here's what I've posted already:
I keep getting Missed Calls on my work phone from Canadian area codes (I'm in Hawaii!!). Numbers so far are 902-489-2551 on Mar 25 and 27 (can't figure out who it was, could be legit?); 416-946-0786 on Apr 11; 416-946-0757 on Apr 15; 416-946-0784 on Apr 16; 416-946-0779 on Apr 17. Suspiciously similar-looking numbers. Last 4 calls all put between 13h30 and 14h30.
416-946-0766 is University of Toronto, calling to solicit donations. You can ask them politely to take your name and number off their calling list, and they will oblige.
