Calls coming in for over a month 1 to 3 times a week listed "Ohio State Univ". After looking up the number here I did not answer.
Today they called at 1:10 PM EST. I told them I know this is a donation call and I am very unhappy by the huge number of times they called. She said "we sometimes call for donations" but that this call was an Alumni Update. She then proceeded to ask me about my time at OSU and what I am doing now.
Then she went back into asking for money. At this point I asked to not be called again and hung up.
They were misleading in the stated purpose of the call, and annoying in calling over and over and never leaving a message.
They've been calling me for over a month, about 3 times a week and never leave a message. I answered once and the person asked for me, and I said that she wasn't available and could I take a message and they said they were calling from the OSU Alumni Association. It is incredibly aggravating that they call so often. It really makes people NOT want to give money when they constantly harass with phone calls.
heh i used to work for OSU Calling when i was a student. and now they call me all the time too. if you get the chance you should talk to them even if you dont want to give. it makes their day better. i dont know if i got many donations while i was working but it was always nice to talk to alum from all over the country. but i also am never around when they call
I hate getting mysterious calls on my cell phone so this was helpful in figuring out who was calling me. Received a call and no message was left and I get them every so often. I've talked to them before and said I couldn't donate. Hell, I'm still a student. I don't have any money to give! It is very annoying and actually makes it less likely for me to give money in the future.
